 Return to: Academic Programs (by college/department)
The B.A. in Dance with Concentration in Applied Dance offers a Dance major with fewer credit hours than the Performance, Choreography, and Theory concentration, in order to accommodate Dance majors who wish to pursue a second major. By pairing dance with another major, students have forged careers in dance therapy (dance and psychology), arts marketing (dance and marketing), and physical therapy for dance (dance and physical therapy).
