Suggested 4-Year Plan


  • We encourage you to select your General Education (GE) and minor/second major/Themed Inquiry/Honors program around the plan below. Once you fill your GE classes around your major classes, you will have a better idea of space remaining each semester when choosing your Exploration Focus.

  • In addition, Dance (B.A.) majors must complete a minimum of 3 credits of electives (see list in the Catalog). Electives can be taken in any semester.
  • To be enrolled full time, you must take at least 12 credits a semester.
  • In order to graduate within 4 years, we recommend you take 30 credits a year.
  • You must take 9 total credits of Dance Electives over the course of their 4 years.
  • You must also complete 5 total credits of Performance Requirements (DANC 113 or DANC 313) - five different performances, one credit each.
