Our mission is to collectively create a relevant program which perpetually evolves in response to our communities and planet. The program is designed to accommodate people at various phases of artistry, from the practicing professional to the recent BA/BFA graduate. This is a 60-credit hour program which usually takes 3 years (6 semesters) to complete. Students generally take 10 credit hours per semester. These credit hours include a secondary emphasis identified and designed by each MFA candidate. The MFA is considered a terminal degree in dance and positions students to be practicing artists, teaching careers in higher education, future PhD study, and/or a variety of other careers in the evolving fields of dance.
Through our diverse and flexible curriculum and a commitment to social justice, our program simultaneously supports individual artists and the cultivation of community.
