Master of Fine Arts in Dance

Program Overview

The MFA in Dance program immerses you in choreographic research through physical and theoretical inquiry while critically examining technical movement practice through a variety of somatic and conceptual perspectives. Through faculty mentorship and rigorous personal investigations, you are guided to integrate knowledge produced through creative and scholarly inquiry into a final thesis project.

Our graduate faculty are nationally and internationally acclaimed performing and choreographic artists. Their research specialties span cultural perspectives, technical forms, somatic modalities, site-specific performance, improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, community-engaged social justice work, and integration of technology and new media.

With our program, you will be well-equipped to develop your career as a professional dancer, choreographer or educator in the field. And because we are a collaborative community of artists ourselves, we are committed to providing you with an immersive and transformative educational experience to get you to where you want to be next.
