The Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in dance is a professional degree for students who already have dance experience and want to become performers, choreographers, or dance scholars. Technique, technology, and the history, philosophy, and aesthetics of dance are central.
Admission requires meeting the university's general undergraduate requirements and passing an audition conducted by department faculty. Auditions are scheduled throughout the year, and entering students must consult departmental advisors before their first registration. To apply, students submit an audition registration form and apply for university admission.
Majors must take appropriate modern and ballet technique each semester and show steady progress. A student who skips dance coursework for a term must audition again, and those away longer than a year are seldom readmitted.
