  2. History • BA Programs established in Dance and Theatre in 1993. • Programs have grown continually • Dance: from 6 to 70 majors (more than 11 times the original size). • Theatre: from 20 to 130 majors (more than 6 times the original size). • Programs also serve nearly 1,000 non-majors and general education students each year.

  3. Success of Current Programs • Have attracted higher and higher quality students each year. • Students have earned honors at many national competitive juried conferences. • Senior showcase in NYC this spring.

  4. Rationale for Creating New BFA Programs in Dance and Theatre • Interest in the programs is strong. • The BFA would better meet the needs of students seeking professional education. • Removing professional track students from the BA track would enable that program to better meet the needs of students seeking a liberal arts education.

  5. Program Differences • The BFA requires a higher level of artistry. • The BA should have more of a liberal arts focus. • The current program tries to meet the needs of both groups of students and, as such, does not fully meet the needs of either.

  6. Summary The B.F.A. programs in Dance and Theatre • have received approval from the CAS Assembly and the University Senate. • can be implemented upon approval. • support the 2010 goal of offering a high-quality and challenging education for undergraduate students. • support the College of Arts and Sciences and the University’s vision of emphasizing the visual and performing arts.
