舞蹈部在全面的文科教育范围内提供专业的舞蹈培训。我们的目标是通过对芭蕾舞，现代舞和爵士舞技巧的平衡研究来发展有纪律的，多才多艺的舞蹈艺术家，并辅之以广泛的理论研究和表演机会。该计划提供了一种氛围，让学生在寻求艺术成就，技术精通和学术卓越的过程中得到培养和激发。本科专业将舞蹈作为表演艺术学习，以期成为练习艺术家。设计舞蹈课程的核心时要牢记这一目标。表演和文科教育课程相结合，可以培养出清晰的舞蹈演员。
The Division of Dance offers professional dance training within the context of a comprehensive liberal arts education. The goal is to develop the disciplined, versatile dance artist through a balanced study of ballet, modern dance and jazz dance techniques, complemented and reinforced by a broad range of theoretical studies and performance opportunities. The program provides an atmosphere in which students are nurtured and stimulated in their quest for artistic achievement, technical mastery and scholarly excellence. Undergraduate majors study dance as a performing art with the intent to become practicing artists. The core of the dance curriculum is designed with this goal in mind. The combination of performance and liberal arts education courses serves to develop the articulate dancer.
