International students should be aware of the Special Information for International Students. All students should follow the special admission requirements below:
In addition to the regular graduate admission requirements, all applicants to the graduate programs in dance are required to complete a dance supplemental application. The MA and MFA degree programs require that students possess an intermediate level of modern dance technique upon admission. Applicants to the MFA program should possess significant choreographic and performing experience.
All applicants to the MFA program are required to submit, with their application, a videotape or DVD recording of an example of their original choreography. MFA and MA applicants are strongly encouraged to attend an audition consisting of an intermediate/advanced modern technique class. Applicants who are not able to attend scheduled auditions must then also submit a clear example of their technical skill on videotape or DVD. Additionally, MA applicants must submit a composition or writing sample.
Applicants who wish to have the videotape/DVD returned must include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Scheduled auditions for students applying to enter in Fall 2010, will take place on January 25th and February 4th, 2010. (please call 510.430.2175 to confirm your attendance in advance)
