The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) requires full immersion in performance, technique, and choice of choreography, pedagogy, or dance studies. Students accepted into this program demonstrate outstanding commitment, academic capability, advanced technical level, exception creativity, and professional promise, and the curriculum is designed to support them in nurturing and developing these skills to prepare for a professional career in dance. The BFA degree program culminates in a final capstone project with a focus in choreography and/or performance, and these are the projects you will see tonight!
