舞蹈艺术硕士
A Multidisciplinary 舞蹈艺术硕士 Degree That Works With Your Schedule
Saint Mary's College of California is proud to offer our 舞蹈艺术硕士 degree in Creative Practice. Our program requires 60 units of course work and takes approximately 2 years to complete, with cohorts beginning each year with a 4-week in-person Summer Term intensive. To accommodate the personal and professional commitments of our students, we occasionally allow students to enter the program in other terms—however, this may change the time required to complete the program.
The 舞蹈艺术硕士 at Saint Mary's uses a low-residency model that favors working adults and highly motivated professionals seeking to sustain their portfolio as they develop their professional careers. 记住这一点, we schedule the majority of our practical and performance courses during the Summer and January intensives.
舞蹈艺术硕士:创造性实践

我们的课程结构
Our program formally begins every year in the Summer Term with a four week, in-person intensive at Saint Mary's campus.
The Fall Term follows with synchronous online courses offered on Mondays from 4:30-6:30pm PST and/or once a month on Saturdays from 11am-2pm PST.
The 1项 intensive begins on SMC's campus during the first two weeks of January and is followed by two weeks of asynchronous classes online.
Spring Term then follows the same model as Fall. This schedule is repeated for the second year and culminates with a final, in-person Summer Term thesis presentation in the students' third Summer.

任务 of the 研究生 Dance Program
The mission of the graduate program in dance is to provide a unique model that capitalizes on the richness and diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area dance community. Through the lens of a liberal arts curriculum, the MFA degree will educate the whole dance artist, concentrating on four areas of focus: Theoretical, 体细胞, 创意实践与生产. The nature of the program is student-centered, 建立在同侪合作的基础上, 教师指导, 以及学生驱动的项目.
The values of our program are shaped around the quest for truth, 生活的真实性, and the building of a community where sensitivity, 社会正义, and global awareness are at the core. Dance artists are the newest members of the global arena--imitating, 创建, and challenging what society has to offer. The graduate programs in dance seek to foster self-discovery and promote an understanding of dance as a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary practice in which the body of the performer(s), the movement of the choreographer(s), 的风景, 服装, and the lighting create a cohesive world for dance.
一月舞蹈集训
In addition to honing dance skills, the January Dance intensive affords the students an opportunity to bond as a cohort. This is essential to foster cooperation and mutual support that facilitates success in the online asynchronous classes.
