The field of dance is rapidly expanding at the University. The four-year program offers a number of post-graduate career possibilities such as choreography, professional dance, dance therapy and dance criticism. Graduate work is another available option. A dance major will receive a Bachelor ' s Degree in Education, including certification to teach dance at Kindergarten through high school levels. The undergraduate dance curriculum includes the study of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities. It combines an understand- ing of the body with intensive development of dance skills in all areas; jazz, ballet, modern, ethnic and social dance among others. The faculty, headed by Coordinator of Dance, Elizabeth Weil Bergmann, boasts an impressive membership of professors, instructors and teaching fellows. In addition to the regular curriculum, the dance program also includes a six-week summer workshop with a major dance artist. 18
