Dance Degree Programs

The Radford University Department of Dance offers three degree programs: a Bachelor of Science with teacher licensure in Dance Education, a Bachelor of Arts, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in classical ballet or contemporary dance. All students must fulfill the requirements of the General Education Program in addition to their major course of study.

The Bachelor of Science Degree with Teacher Licensure in Dance Education focuses on proficiency in dance technique and methodology courses in professional dance education. Students participate in field experience and student teaching under the careful supervision of the dance education faculty. These experiences lead to K-12 certification to teach dance in public schools.

The Bachelor of Arts is a liberal arts degree focusing on performance and creative endeavors. There is an emphasis on technique as well as the creative process.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is a rigorous program requiring 70 credit hours in the areas of dance technique and performance. This degree option is geared for students who wish to pursue a professional career as a performing artist.

All three degree programs prepare the students to continue their education on the graduate level in any number of different dance areas.
