Program Description
The Hunter College MFA program in Dance prepares dance artists/educators for careers and professional roles in the field of dance through a wide-ranging program of dance technique and choreography, complemented by appropriate coursework in theory, perspectives and contexts, history, and dance pedagogy. The MFA in Dance is considered the terminal degree in the field; it is the baseline qualifying credential for the college/university teaching job market, a challenging laboratory for furthering deep personal artistic accomplishment, and an important venue for the development of contextual and aesthetic understanding. The program will open in the fall of 2018.
