The BFA in Dance prepares students to become independent creative artists by providing the skills, tools, and practice necessary to pursue a career in dance. Our faculty provide strong technical training in which students take artistic risks, expand skills, think critically, and pursue an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach as dancers, choreographers, directors, performers, writers, and/or teachers. If your goal is to prepare for creative work – as a performer, choreographer or other role – the BFA degree may be right for you. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance requires 123 credit hours.
