Student Learning Outcomes

Requirements for Admission and Restrictions

The minor in dance appreciation and practice is available to matriculated, undergraduate students from all Syracuse University schools and colleges, provided that they have the permission of their home school or college, and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. Some background knowledge and experience in dance is seen as beneficial for prospective minor applicants, but not required.

Due to course sequencing and enrollment limitations (conflicts and some courses are not offered every year), students must have a minimum of four semesters available to complete the minor requirements. Students wishing to apply for the minor after the Spring semester of their sophomore year, must have one or more courses completed, or in progress.
