The Hunter College Dance Program offers opportunities to pursue a B.A. degree in dance and an M.A. degree in Dance Education. Our modern dance based curriculum provides students with a vital foundation towards graduate study or professional careers in performance, choreography, teaching, arts administration, and production. The curriculum is enriched by a Lecture/Demonstration community outreach performance program, repertory classes with New York based choreographers, international performance opportunities, internships at various venues, and New York State teaching certification. From a campus in the heart of New York City, the dance major or minor student is offered many opportunities to engage with professional dance companies, choreographers, and critics who live and work in New York. The cultural diversity of the student population, the active, professional faculty and the wide range of program opportunities qualify the Hunter College Dance Program as the "hidden jewel" of New York City.
Acceptance Rate:
To declare a BA Dance Major at Hunter College, students must be admitted into a level 1 dance technique course (Ballet 1 or Contemporary Dance 1) and meet with a dance advisor, earning a minimum of 42 credits in DAN courses and performing in at least two student choreographed pieces.
