Case Western Reserve University

The Dance Department is distinguished as one of the oldest of the 30 plus MFA dance programs in institutions of higher education. Founded in 1975, it continues to offer both graduate and undergraduate degrees in a small conservatory-like environment with its distinguished faculty who guide students through the unparalleled four semester choreography sequence, professional level technical training, and notably, a unique music training program allied with the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM). Through our internationally recognized dance wellness program and the several performing and research opportunities, students are challenged and prepared for an exploration of unchartered territory as intellectual and aesthetic voyagers and leaders. Undergraduate students can major in multiple disciplines and graduate students can focus on their unique interests in a supported environment in this world-class university.
