舞蹈艺术硕士

尽管研究生舞蹈课程是针对美术硕士学位的，但所有研究生都将从MA课程开始。硕士生在第三学期向研究生院院长推荐后，即可进入MFA课程。通过戏剧和其他部门的相关研究，MA的课程工作可能类似于美术硕士的课程。候选人的学习课程将由初级舞蹈学院设计。根据俄亥俄州高等教育部的规定，研究生院和舞蹈系要求的最低平均成绩为3.0。
Although the graduate dance program is geared toward the Master of Fine Arts degree, all graduate students begin in the MA program. Advancement to the MFA program occurs upon faculty recommendation to the Dean of Graduate Studies in the third semester. The coursework for the MA may be similar to that for the Master of Fine Arts, enhanced by related studies in theater and other departments. The candidate's program of study will be designed by the primary dance faculty. The School of Graduate Studies and the Department of Dance, in accordance with the Ohio Department of Higher Education, requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0.<br><br>MA candidates must complete a minimum of 30 hours, following a program similar to that suggested below. The principal faculty advisor may suggest modifications. The program recommends the School of Graduate Studies plan B, with requirements including a non-performance, non-production thesis on a topic approved by the primary program faculty. The thesis must be a substantial contribution to the field, with potential for publication or presentation. The MA thesis must be completed no later than one academic year beyond the completion of the course requirements.
