DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Science in Dance Bachelor of Arts in Dance Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Certificate in Teaching Dance Minor in Dance

The Department of Dance offers curricula leading to a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), a Bachelor of Arts (BA), a Bachelor of Science (BS), or a certificate in teaching dance, as well as opportunities for non-majors. The goal of the department is to provide comprehensive dance training within the liberal arts framework of the university. The study of dance involves intellectual, artistic, and physical development. The Department of Dance emphasizes all three areas of growth, a commitment made possible by the breadth of its curricular offerings and the depth of faculty expertise. In addition to the academic components, dance students experience the rigorous professional discipline that is inherent in studio classes. The department explores diverse idioms in dance: African dance and drumming, ballet, contact improvisation, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, modern, partnering, and Salsa.

Acceptance Rate:

The University of Oregon School of Music and Dance's dance program is highly selective, with an acceptance rate of around 85% for the general university, but dance majors must complete both the UO and School of Music and Dance applications by January 15th.
