For External Transfer Applicants

The B.F.A. in Dance is a four-year sequence of training. We cannot predict how the credits you may have pursued at another institution in dance will transfer into our training sequence. Once admitted, transfer students will meet with an advisor during orientation to determine their timeline to degree. All transfer students should expect to invest at least two to three full years of study in our department to complete a B.F.A. in Dance.
