The B.F.A. degree program prepares students to seek careers as performing artists. The B.A. degree program provides a liberal arts background, allowing students to combine studies in dance with other fields of interest. Both programs prepare students to seek entrance into graduate school. Graduate school is required for those wishing careers in dance therapy, dance science, dance history/aesthetics, and those wishing to teach at a college or university. Dance criticism and dance journalism may or may not require further graduate study. Those interested in this field need to develop journalistic skills as well as an understanding of dance history, philosophy, technique, and choreography.
