Dance B.A.

DNCE 3901 must be taken for 1 credit to count toward this requirement.

Courses must be taken for 2 credits to count toward this requirement.

Performance credits should be spread throughout four years of coursework. Students must take two Dance Performance, Repertory, and Intensive courses. One course must come from the Dance Performance courses. Only one course may come from the Repertory/Intensive section. Concurrent enrollment in a Modern/Contemporary course is required for Performance courses.

The dance program offers a flexible capstone course which allow its majors to pursue final projects under the guidance of faculty mentors in the three focus areas of our program: performance, creation, or intellectual endeavor or some combination of the three. Examples are the production of evenings of performance, arts administration internships, research papers, collaborative projects with other student artists and scholars within and beyond the field of dance.

Students who double major and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other major may waive the Dance BA capstone, but are still responsible for taking a minimum of 45 credits towards the Dance BA.

Students are required to take one upper division writing intensive course within the major. If that requirement has not been satisfied within the core major requirements, students must choose one course from the following list. Some of these courses may also fulfill other major requirements.
