Dance Major - Transfer - Help?

College Majors Dance Major
1

Hi! I am a current high school senior in Puerto Rico (colony of USA). I just wanted to know if there are any recommendations on colleges that have dance majors (BA, BFA, MFA) in USA. I have danced modern, hiphop, urban, jazz, and ballet. My strength is mostly in hiphop and urban, so i believe commercial dance is were im heading off to. Im planning on doing a double major. Since im going to stay in PR for two years, thus entering college would require a transfer, which universities would accept the credits/transfer? I want to pursue both majors which would be dance and either, political science or psychology. Moreover, I don’t know which are the schools that excel in commercial dance and that would also encourage the other major. My list right now is:
-Columbia College
-UCLA
-Relativity School
-Pace University

Please help me make the list bigger. Thank you! :slight_smile:

Good luck with everything. I can’t speak about UCLA and Columbia College. As far as Relativity, from what I have read, they don’t really accept transfer credit and I don’t think they would allow for a double major either. Their program is very specific. The Pace CD program is very competitive and I think double majoring while BFA would be a little difficult.

You could possibly look into Dean College, maybe Shenandoah, maybe Chapman. I am not familiar with these programs but I do know that Dean and Shenandoah do offer a little more commercial style opportunities.

My daughter was accepted to Dean for dance. We loved everything about it. Ultimately, she decided on a school with a larger student body. Only have positive things to say about the dance program and her audition experience.
