Dance

Preparing Students for Success

The Dance Program at The University of Akron's School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration offers students traditional technical training combined with an academic program leading to a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Dance with a Business Cognate. These degrees prepare students for:

• performing careers;
• graduate studies in the fields related to dance such as arts administration, dance history, physical therapy, dance therapy, dance education or dance ethnology; and
• teaching careers in private studios.

A fifth-year option in both degree programs is available in which students can be licensed to teach dance in public schools, grades pre-K through 12.
