Baccalauréat en beaux-arts en danse

The Department of Dance offers a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance. Once admitted into the dance program, students may self-select to pursue either the B.A. or B.F.A. in a dance track. For the B.F.A. degree, the department requires 130-134 credits, including concentration credits in ballet, jazz or modern, department requirements, credits in the core curriculum, and general electives.
