BA Dance

The undergraduate curriculum, which leads toward a B.A. degree in Dance, offers students a solid foundation in the core areas of the discipline as well as insights into cross-disciplinary fields of study. 

Coursework is designed to help students become skillful, articulate, and expressive movers; to enable students to find their own voice as creative artists, develop the ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment, and to grow in their conceptual understanding of dance as an art form. 

The cornerstones of the curriculum are foundational coursework in the first two years. The project based learning or advanced seminar experiences in the senior year engage students in interdisciplinary and/or cross-cultural work and offer in-depth exploration of a theme from a performance, choreographic, and theoretical perspective. Students select an area of emphasis in performance and choreography, production, or education.
