The
dance minor is organized to merge course work in three
core areas of the department. Students electing the
minor will choose a minimum of two courses in each of
these areas: process-oriented studies, studies in technique
and physical practice, and conceptual studies, with
the remainder of credit hours to be selected according
to the student’s preferences. Through this integrated
approach to studying the art of dance, the student completing
the minor will emerge with a broad perspective of the
field.
The dance minor consists of 25
credit hours of dance course work. Students must
select a minimum of two distinct units of study from
each of three separate strands of core course work,
completing not more than five credit hours at the 100
level, and a minimum of 13
credit hours at or above the 300 level.
Core 1: Conceptual studies
(10 cr hrs)
Dance 1611 (5) OR 2001 (5), and 357 (5)
Core 2: Process-oriented
studies (4-6 cr hrs)
Dance 211.03 (2), 289.01 (2), 298 (3), 620 (3)
Core 3: Technique/physical
practice2
(10-12 cr hrs)
Dance 201.01-201.06 (1-5), 202.01-202.03 (1-5), 203.01-203.03
(1-5), 601.01-601.08 (1-5)
1 Only one of these two overview courses
may be applied to the minor.
2 The typical pattern for these courses is two or three
meetings per week, yielding two credit hours per course.
Students must take either Dance 161 or Dance 200, and
Dance 357 in order to complete their Core 1 requirements.
The remaining credit hours are selected from core areas
2 and 3.
application procedures
Students must formally apply for minor status in the
department by filing a student profile sheet. Students
are obliged to maintain an updated checklist of required
and elective courses toward the minor, and file the
Minor Program Form with their respective college/school
