Application information

Entry requirements

Applicants are expected to show a high level of proficiency in dance performance, pedagogy and choreography. All applicants must submit the Teaching Application portion of the application. Funding for the MFA is contingent upon teaching within our program. The deadline for all applications is December 1. Select applicants will be invited to an initial Zoom interview in January. The faculty will then invite a small number of applicants for an in-person campus audition in February. International students may request to audition in digital format. The dance program does not accept applications or transfer requests for spring semester admission. The specific audition dates and detailed information about the on-campus audition can be found on the department's Dance MFA Application webpage. Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores are not required for the MFA in dance application.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate programmes set their own entry terms and deadlines on their programme pages; all deadlines are 10:00 pm Mountain Time. Fall, spring and summer terms are billed for graduate students.

Graduate applications are submitted online to the Graduate School; the nonrefundable application fee is $60 for domestic applicants and $80 for international applicants, payable online. GRE or GMAT requirements and deadlines vary by programme.
