The Certificate in Advanced Dance Studies allows students already enrolled in the B.A. in Dance degree an opportunity to deepen and focus their studies. Certificate courses help students develop an area of interest, prepare them to undertake individual final projects, performances, or internships, and provide them with skills needed to work in dance community settings. As appropriate to our work as an Urban Research University, the Certificate allows the Department to serve community dance organizations (dance studios, YMCAs, Charlotte Ballet, and dance companies) while providing students with professional experiences.
