Information related to an applicant with
undergraduate deficiencies

Once a student has been admitted to the university, the Department of Dance Assistant Chair in coordination with a Graduate Director will evaluate undergraduate coursework and past experiences to identify deficiencies in the following areas:

• Dance history
• Choreography
• Music for dance
• Dance production
• Dance kinesiology and anatomy
• Choreographic work produced publicly
• Performing experience
• Improvisation

In order to meet proficiency requirements, a student may be asked to do the following:

• Provide catalog description of previous course work
• Take a proficiency examination
• Present evidence of acceptable practical experience in all areas of dance production
• Present videotapes, newspaper reviews, photographs, and/or printed programs of dance works given in public performances as evidence of previous experience in the area of contemporary dance choreography

If a deficiency occurs, the student may be required to take remedial course work and/or work with a faculty mentor to construct knowledge in the deficient area before beginning the graduate dance curriculum.
