BFA in Dance: Dance Production Concentration

Students must meet all general degree requirements as well as conservatory requirements for graduation. Students in the dance production concentration are required to complete 2 credits of repertory before graduation and, as a minimum technique requirement for graduation, a 2000-level course in either ballet or modern for one year.

Freshman and Sophomore Years
Students apply for the dance production concentration during the second semester of their sophomore year and before the sophomore jury. Sophomore jury results, along with a general aptitude for and interest in dance production, determine a student’s acceptance or denial. Freshmen and sophomores follow the basic curriculum.
