Dance (B.F.A.): Choreography (Audition Only)

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance: Choreography offers intensive professional training that prepares students for careers as choreographers by offering classes and experiences to work directly with nationally recognized guest artists, faculty, and in the Coker Repertory Dance Company, as well as ample opportunities for students to show their own creative work. Students will take at least 73 semester hours of courses with a specific focus on courses in dance technique, performance and composition.
