Description
Location(s): Main Campus Close Student Success Advisor(s) Sample Degree Plan Program Learning Outcomes CIP Code: 50.0301 Program Information To qualify for technique classes that are level II or above requires a placement audition or Departmental approval. All courses must be passed with a C (2.0) or better to be counted in the major. Students will complete a Capstone, which will develop original scholarship that critically evaluates and analyzes their creative practice through a written and oral defense presentation to faculty within their discipline. Check-In Meetings will be held annually for all dance majors to assess progress and determine each student’s level of skill and competency. Exit interviews will be held for all graduating seniors. Every student is required to abide by the policies and procedures set up in the Departmental Student Handbook . All dance majors will complete levels III, IV, and V in Jazz Dance, Modern Dance, and Ballet techniques, and level VI in two of three. Dance majors may choose between the following options: 1) Complete an approved academic minor or 2) Complete a minimum of 19 credit hours (outside General Education) of enrichment courses outside of the DANC prefix (may include language requirements). Students should consult their faculty/academic advisors as they select their enrichment courses.
