Our undergraduate programs in dance will foster your development as an artist, educator and/or creative entrepreneur by providing a comprehensive practical and theoretical education in preparation for graduate studies or a professional career in dance or a dance-related field. The Department of Dance offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in dance with two options for study: Our dance studies option is designed to prepare you for a performance-related career, an advanced degree in dance, teaching in settings other than public schools where certification is not required. It will also prepare you for a career in arts advocacy, management or programming. Our dance education option is designed to prepare dance educators for teaching in middle and secondary schools. This option requires the same dance major courses as the dance studies option and also includes a core of professional education courses required by TWU and the Texas Education Agency leading to Texas Grade 6-12 Dance Certification.
