Minors are a secondary area of academic focus.

Declaring a minor can be helpful if you are wanting a different area of study, but not declaring another major. You can minor in something that compliments your major, or something you find interesting!  

Students who minor in dance study courses in Movement Improvisation, Dance History, Choreography, Principles of Teaching Dance and diverse styles of dance technique. The minor is designed to balance creative and performance aspects of dance with historical and theoretical aspects.
