AA/AS in Dance

Theatre Arts - Dance is offered at Mendocino College. The Theatre Arts major offers an emphasis in either theatre or dance, and this version centers on dance. Students learn to create and perform work and to analyze performance through history, theory, literature and practice. The program spans 4 semesters of study at Mendocino College, a California community college. Instruction comes from the college faculty, and the course sequence is arranged so that a full-time student can progress steadily toward completion of the major. Studying at a community college lets students begin with smaller classes and close contact with instructors while they settle on longer-term educational goals. Students who plan to transfer should research the destination school requirements and follow the Cal-GETC pattern, ideally with a counselor guiding course choices.
