Audition Description
Once your application to the Graduate College has been processed, the School of Dance will review all application materials and consider an audition/interview. Since nearly all applicants have previously earned a B.F.A. degree in Dance, we do not encourage any applicant to apply without having already completed all prerequisites. A 2-3 year hiatus is also recommended between completion of a B.F.A. and entering the M.F.A. program to demonstrate self-motivated professional activity.
Students will be admitted to enter graduate studies who meet the minimum requirements of the Graduate College and the School of Dance including:
Demonstrated advanced level in technique in ballet, modern dance, or jazz dance.
Have completed at least one year of dance composition, achieving a grade of “B” or higher; or at least two professional compositions that have been publicly presented.
Have completed at least one year of Dance or Drama Theatre Production, achieving a grade of “B” or higher; or at least 2 years of professional experience.
Have completed at least one course each in:
Music history/literature, music for dance, or two years of applied music study.
