Overview

The MFA in Choreography from Jacksonville University nurtures the development of rigorous research and refined relationships between three aspects of creative production: stimulus, practice, and analysis.

Each incoming class is structured as a cohort of artists who progress in lockstep through the entire program, establishing strong connections upon entry during the Summer term with faculty, guest artists, and fellow candidates. These bonds will serve as educational reinforcement and edification for the duration of the program and beyond.

Key Facts

Students will work one on one with graduate faculty and local mentors to expand their choreographic practice during the non-residency portion of the program.
A one-week residency for pedagogy is required for each candidate and may be conducted in the location of their choice.
Fall and Spring terms are designed and delivered for online instruction and taught by professors within the program.
Students will have the opportunity to meet guest artists from all over the world during the summer term.
