Ballet MFA
The Master of Fine Arts in Ballet curriculum is designed so that students may tailor their studies according to individual interests. Theory courses are foundational, and students take additional coursework in the areas of Pedagogy, Choreography, and Scholarly Inquiry before selecting an area of focus. Graduate projects and elective coursework support the selected area of focus, and the self-designed thesis project serves as a culmination of each student’s research.
