The dance department provides several graduate programs: MA Plan A, MA Plan B, and MFA degrees. GRE scores aren't necessary for admission to any dance master's program, though international students must achieve a minimum TOEFL score of 600. MA Plan A students must complete a written thesis, while Plan B involves extra coursework plus a capstone project or paper. The MFA program demands a performance and choreography thesis with supporting written materials. All graduate dance applicants need to show sufficient undergraduate dance experience (or a related field), provide a writing sample like a significant paper, and arrange for three recommendation letters to be sent to the dance department. MFA applicants must additionally submit video recordings showcasing their choreographic and performance abilities.
Fall semester applications are due February 1 (January 15 for international students), while spring semester deadlines are September 1 (August 1 for international applicants). Students may advance to candidacy after completing 12 graduate credits in the department, addressing any undergraduate deficiencies, and (for MFA candidates) presenting an approved creative work sample (the qualifying dance performance).
