DANCE
Graduate School Programs - Master's, Ph.D.
Studying dance at the university level is about much more than simply perfecting your technique. It is also about the academics of it, about how dance itself fits into the context of human artistic expression and contributes to national and cultural identity in its various incarnations. In that sense, then, dance studies are a way to understand cultures and histories as well as a highly effective means of expressing emotion. A degree in dance studies, depending on where you pursue it, may be through an
education department
, a
performing arts
department, or a
physical education
department. There are many different avenues that can be taken with a degree in dance studies, ranging from performance to the therapeutic use of it for those with various disabilities. |
