This program permits a total of 78 credits in the major. It is designed primarily for students in dance who wish to pursue additional preprofessional training in theatre and dance or for those preparing to enter M.F.A. graduate programs.

The BFA in Dance Science is a professionally oriented degree for students interested in a career of dance research and wish to pursue some aspect of the science field in relation to dance. In addition to specific course work, BFA students complete a senior project which provides summation and synthesis to their training. Admission to the BFA is by application only. Students will be required to submit an application no sooner than spring of their freshman year and interview during the end of the spring semester. All students admitted to the BFA program are considered on provisional status in their first year in the program, and are evaluated on a yearly basis on maintaining a 3.000 GPA in dance required courses, demonstrating appropriate progress in artistic and technical growth and active participation in the Department of Theatre and Dance productions and research. Students wishing to apply for the BFA in Dance Science do so the second semester of their freshman year.
