Dance Studies
Bachelor of Arts in Dance Studies
The BA in Dance Studies is designed for students seeking to explore dance in relation
to other areas of interest. It is a flexible program that enables students to pursue
a core study in dance along with a focus in another field, such as theatre, education,
healthcare, business, psychology, communications, and more. The dance studies major
assembles a broad base of knowledge that prepares you to work in a vast range of fields.
The comprehensive curriculum provides study in studio technique, choreography, and
dance theory courses. Each dance studies major is required to research and develop
a final independent project incorporating dance with their focused area of study.
These projects will be developed during their senior year in consultation with a faculty
member.
