The objective of the bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) program in dance is to provide professional-level training in multiple movement practices for students seeking careers in dance. The program supports student artists' creative and scholarly research on multiple levels, encouraging them to develop critical thinking skills as a base for career pathways in the arts, business, education, sciences, and technology. Students will attain a clear and fundamental knowledge of how their embodied experiences, including improvising, performing, choreographing, writing, and teaching is investigated, integrated, and ultimately synthesized through artistic and scholarly methodologies.
