Program details

Overview

York University's graduate program in Dance, established in 1976, offers a Master of Arts (MA) and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). The three-term MA situates dance within its cultural, intellectual, and social contexts, combining theoretical and practical approaches; graduates go on to work in community, production, therapy, teaching, administrative, and archival roles. The five-term MFA is a studio-intensive program centred on research in contemporary choreography, in which students form collaborative teams to create, produce, and present original performance work, gaining the theoretical and technical grounding needed for multidisciplinary performance art. Both programs are based in York's Department of Dance. Applicants apply to the MA or the MFA depending on their focus, submitting a statement of interest along with samples of written work or choreography as required by each stream. At the time this information was gathered, the department was not accepting applications for the upcoming admission cycle.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants to the MA submit a statement of interest and two samples of written work; applicants to the MFA submit a statement of interest, a sample of written work, two examples of recent choreography or dance dramaturgy, and a curriculum vitae. Both streams require three letters of recommendation. The program was not accepting new applications for the upcoming year at the time this information was gathered; prospective applicants should confirm current admission status with the department.
