Five-Year Program in Dance Education (Certification: Teacher of Dance)


Director: Frederick Curry (848-932-1372; email: fcurry@mgsa.rutgers.edu)

This program is open to students who are majoring in dance (B.F.A.).

Please visit the website.

For additional information please visit: http://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/content/bfa-dance-performance.

Students who complete the five-year teacher education program in dance education will receive a bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) degree in dance from Mason Gross School of the Arts, a master of education (Ed.M.) in dance education degree from the Graduate School of Education (GSE) as well as a recommendation to the New Jersey Department of Education for Teacher of Dance (K-12) Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS).

Rutgers undergraduates do preliminary coursework and field placements as assigned during the sophomore and junior years, are admitted to the program during the spring semester of the junior year, and enter the professional education sequence in the summer between junior and senior years. Students then qualify to have their bachelor's degree awarded by Mason Gross School of the Arts.

Students continue with the professional sequence the summer after undergraduate graduation. They return in the fall to complete a student-teaching internship with related coursework and continue with full-time graduate study, including a field-based research project, in the spring. The Ed.M. degree is conferred upon the completion of all five-year program requirements. After the master's degree is awarded, the GSE will make a recommendation to the New Jersey State Department of Education on behalf of the student to receive a CEAS as a teacher.
