Curriculum
Students have access to these unique types of learning experiences: hands-on practical experience with patients and/or community members, exposure to arts in health-related fields, the opportunity to develop career readiness skills such as oral and written communication, leadership, collaboration, and problem solving. In addition, students will interact with patients and/or community members, arts in health leaders, artists, healthcare professionals, arts administrators, and non-profit organizations.
The certificate is different than a minor because students receive hands-on applied experience. Making the choice to complete the certificate shows intentionality and commitment to interdisciplinary exploration and an awareness of the value of dance to health and well-being in society.
Students should apply by their sophomore year and contact the center undergraduate advisor to schedule an initial meeting to discuss requirements.
Students must attain a 3.0 GPA in the required courses, all of which have prerequisites.
