The 36-credit Master of Arts in Dance is a graduate program that offers students an opportunity for research in studies including aesthetics/criticism, dance science/somatics, movement analysis, dance choreography/performance, dance in Africa, dance in education, computers and music for dance, and design for dance. Students may also conceive through advisement an interdisciplinary focus in dance/movement studies which might include work in dance history, exercise physiology, theatre, fine art and visual studies, health/wellness, African and African-American studies, women's and gender studies, and cultural studies.

The 36 credits are distributed as follows:

a core of nine credits, including courses in dance research, dance history, aesthetics and culture, and field work/teaching practicum;
21 additional credits taken in the selected area of emphasis within dance (including graduate technique when appropriate) or within allied disciplines which support the emphasis; and,
six culminating credits of thesis.
