Minor in Dance

Dance Minor

The dance minor is available to undergraduate students who want to combine an interest in dance with a major in another area of study. The minor allows students flexibility in constructing a program of courses to enhance and complement any chosen major.

Dance courses applied to the minor must be passed with grades of C– or better. Most upper-division courses have prerequisites, corequisites, or both.

Dance Minor Requirements

Dance courses applied to the minor must be passed with a grade of C– or better. Minors are encouraged to take Looking at Dance (DAN 251) as an arts and letters group-satisfying course and Anatomy of Human Movement (DAN 260) as a science group-satisfying course to enrich their understanding of dance, even though these courses do not count toward the minimum 25 credits required for the minor.
