Dance
The minor in dance is structured as follows:
Theory Requirements (three course credits): DANC 250 History of Dance, DANC 262 Dance Composition, and either Capstone World Fusion Dance or an approved elective in dance, theatre, music, or art.
Technique Requirements (three course credits): Students may elect three course credits from the following studio and performance classes but are expected to achieve proficiency at the 300 level in either ballet or modern dance as demonstrated by a passing grade in either DANC 310 or DANC 325/350. All technique and performance classes are repeatable in recognition of the importance of consistent individualized training at the appropriate level within each dance style.

Quarter-course repeatable credit in DANC 360 reflects significant involvement; a maximum of one-quarter credit is permitted each semester.
