Overview

Fuse dance with academia as a part of a small cohort of dancers in the Master of Arts in Dance program at Case Western Reserve University. Because of the selective nature of our program, you’ll get significant one-on-one time with our world-class faculty, who were professional dancers in New York City before joining our faculty.

Key facts

Graduates have launched careers as choreographers around the world, pursued teaching opportunities in higher education and even developed specialty programs for Parkinson's patients.

As you go through this 30-credit hour program, you’ll have the option to stay on the MA track or shift to a Master of Fine Arts in Contemporary Dance depending on your academic and career goals. Or, like many students, you might choose to pursue a PhD in dance to set yourself up for a career in teaching.
