Kent State offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance Performance or Dance Education as well as a dance minor. Dancers will participate in a master class including ballet, modern dance, improvisation and jazz dance. Prospective dance majors also will be interviewed by a panel of dance faculty members and asked to present a two-minute solo. Students who are talented in both dance and academics qualify to be considered for Creative Artists Awards offered through the university’s Honors College.
