Academic Information
Dance Major - Education Emphasis
The Dance Education major is an approved program by the Utah State Board of Education and is designed to prepare a candidate to teach dance in the public schools in secondary education. Students in the Dance Education with licensure program must select a minor in a field of study approved the Utah State Board of Education, complete university requirements, College of Education requirements, and dance education requirements. The Secondary Education program at SUU is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Dance Education graduates have been placed in teaching positions in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and as far away as New York.
Both the Dance Performance and Dance Education majors require residency status and are offered through a combination of lecture and studio courses. The department faculty is drawn from the professional dance world, is committed to education, and provides students with individual mentorship and guidance. In addition, annual visiting artists with special talents and fresh influences help enrich the program.
