A variety of dance experiences are provided for enjoyment and enrichment through the dance program. DANC courses generally offer beginning instruction and may be repeated twice for credit. Upper-division DANC courses provide low-intermediate instruction and may be repeated twice for credit. A maximum of 12 credits in DANC courses may be applied to the total number of credits required for a bachelor’s degree. Students wishing to pursue a dance minor may submit an application to the School of Music and Dance at any time during their undergraduate studies. No audition is required. 

  • Upper-division DAN courses provide advanced instruction. See DAN course listings for credit repeatability. 
  • Noncredit DANC and DAN studio courses may be available to members of the community through community dance; a modest instructional fee is assessed by the Department of Dance.  
  • The dance minor is available to undergraduate students who want to combine an interest in dance with a major in another area of study. The minor allows students flexibility in constructing a program of courses to enhance and compliment any chosen major
