Our MFA program also offers two different certificates for students who are interested in broadening their scope of expertise to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity as well as make themselves more marketable.
Certificate in Lighting Design for Dance
Certificate in Dance Management
The certificate program has a rolling start date. Once approved, certificate candidates may begin taking courses in any term in which they are offered as long as they meet the requirements for the individual course.
