Undergraduate Studies

The undergraduate dance major curriculum is both thorough and specific. Unlike most other major courses of study, dancers begin to complete requirements for the BFA during the first semester of the freshman year. All dance majors enroll in both ballet and modern dance technique during their first three semesters. Each technique class meets daily. Much of the coursework fundamental to dance education is shared by both majors and the balanced emphasis on both classical and contemporary dance prepares dancers to meet the current demands of the field. Dance majors are not required a minor field of study but may petition to pursue a double major — a BFA in Ballet & Modern Dance — during the third semester. Dance students also have the option to complete a double degree combining either ballet or modern dance with another field of study. Recent majors have earned double degrees in dance and Radio/TV/Film, Journalism/News Editing, English, History, Information Technology, Math, Religion and Political Science.
