significant understanding of the primary and secondary areas of concentration, including minors

to gain skills and knowledge in these areas. At the end of the degree program, students will be able to:

Perform at a professional level in diverse styles of dance including ballet, jazz and/or modern dance. (Performance emphasis)
Choreograph at a professional level in diverse styles of dance (Choreography emphasis)
Understand and develop scholarly research techniques and be familiar with the written and verbal skills necessary and appropriate for the field
Articulate a personal aesthetic
Teach a dance technique class as well as an academic class.

classes, after performances & by individual meetings & is graded through studio classes & ensemble work.
Choreography is assessed through close faculty mentoring of graduate choreography projects (DNC694A Masters Project in Dance & DNC909 Masters Report) as well as through classes which explore the craft of choreography (DNC545A&B Advanced Choreography, DNC596E Seminar in Music & Dance Collaborations).
Writing & verbal skills are developed & assessed through the formal research class (DNC596A Critical Issues in Dance), written proposals for Master's Projects & the Final Project Proposal & writing assignments in course work (DNC546A Careers in Dance, DNC696A Graduate Forum, DNC555 Biomechanics for Dancers, DNC595A Teaching Methods of Dance, DNC596E Seminar in Music & Dance Collaborations & DNC591 001, 002 Preceptorships). The large lecture preceptorship (DNC591 002) is particularly valuable to the student as it affords them the opportunity to mentor & grade undergraduate writing assignments.
The student's personal aesthetic is developed & assessed throughout their plan of study through close mentoring by the faculty. The assessment of the personal aesthetic is further evaluated through the final project & the final oral examination which are conducted by a committee of faculty.
Students develop teaching skills & are assessed on their pedagogical knowledge through specific course work including DNC595A Teaching Methods of Dance, DNC591 001 Preceptions in Teaching Methods of Dance & DNC591 002 Preceptorship in a Large Lecture class. Teaching Methods of Dance gives the student fundamental knowledge in teaching ballet, jazz & modern dance at the beginning level. The Teaching Methods Preceptorship enables them to develop advanced knowledge & skills in a specific dance discipline & to apply this knowledge & these skills in a classroom setting. DNC591 002, the large lecture preceptoship enables the student to develop skills & knowledge for teaching a large academic lecture class. in addition graduate students are given the opportunity to teach at least one course (studio or academic) during their time of study.
