Studio Alternative for Technique Requirement - MA Grad Handbook
Students in the MA degree in Dance Education are required to complete
one of the following:
*DCE 624 (2 credits)
*4 credits of undergraduate technique classes (credits not counted toward
degree)
*the equivalent from “an approved studio” (non-credit)
-
For each undergraduate credit, students may substitute 25 classes,
each at least 75 minutes in length, or the equivalent. The classes may be in dance technique
(any form) or yoga, Pilates, or some other recognized form of body work,
but must be appropriate/advertised for adult students.
Note that the approval process requires a justification of the value of the choices made.
-
In general, the 25 classes should be with the same teacher, with the exception of an occasional
substitute teacher.
-
The classes must be taken no sooner than the first day of the first semester in which
students begin taking graduate courses for the degree.
-
Students must submit a proposal (see following) for approval in advance; the approved
proposal will be retained in the student´s file.
(For approval of the teacher, the advisor will look for a masters degree
in Dance or significant professional experience for dance technique classes,
and appropriate certification in the form of body work.)
-
At the end of the classes equivalent to one undergraduate credit, the student must submit documentation of completion
(see following).
