In addition, you’ll select at least one other key area of interest. Examples include art and design, business, environment, film, and theatre. This area of interest can even be pursued as a minor or second major.
You’ll be encouraged to dance and perform as much or as little as you want. During your final year, you’ll work with a dance faculty member to create a senior thesis project combining dance and your other area of interest. You must pass an audition for acceptance into this program.
