Dance majors follow a program based on growth beginning with foundational theory courses, technique courses appropriate to each dancer's ability, and a culminating senior project. A Dance Education major is offered for students who wish to focus their education in the knowledge and understanding of dance education in relation to secondary education. This major focuses on pedagogy, choreography, history, and performance and prepares students as teachers of dance in public sector, private sector, and non-profit environments. Two departmental minors are offered: 1) Dance: Performance and Choreography; and 2) Dance Teaching. Dance minors follow a program that provides for study in technique, creative and theoretical coursework. A minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) must be completed in the Dance Area courses. Dance Teaching minors must complete a minimum of eighteen (18) credit hours (GPA of 2.25 or better) from the Dance Area courses.
