SACS Reaffirmation
Objective | Provide Course Offerings To Support Enriched Program | |
Determine courses that can be offered within the means of the dance program Associated Goals: Implement 60 Hour Curriculum |
Indicator | Dance Program Can Support Additional Courses It was determined that with current resources, students would undertake additional guided independent studies in choreography as well as appropriate courses in supporting academic areas |
Criteria | Program can support new curriculum With existing courses in dance, courses outside the major, and independent studies, program will be able to complete a 60 hour MFA degree |
Finding | Students are progressing on schedule Students pursuing the degree are on schedule to complete their degrees with appropriate coursework |
Action | Additional faculty are needed The dance program has limited faculty available to teach courses, and consequently faculty have limited additional time to mentor independent studies. Doing so this year was a considerable strain. Whether additional courses can be proposed, or independent studies will be offered in profusion, at least one more faculty position, and ideally more, are vital to the success of this ambitious plan |
