Completion requirement

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 are still required to take the Dance BFA capstone.
