Any insight or information about the dance programs at these MI schools? You don’t hear as much about them it seems, yet I hear they have good programs.
I’m certainly not qualified to answer about quality of the programs, but I will say that my DD has considered both of them. We have heard great things about Western Michigan and she does know a student there, but if I recall correctly when she checked into it she found that they start out as BA then can apply for BFA later. She didn’t really want that, as she wants to start in a BFA program from the beginning. She loves the director of the dance program at Hope and has considered it as well. They offer a lot of options for double majoring which is nice if that is important to your dancer. I’ve also heard the campus is beautiful! I don’t believe they offer a BFA so it’s not on her short list, but she is doing an audition this weekend and both schools will be there so who knows?
Thanks @MomL98, my D will take a closer look at Hope
