MFA in Dance

at Saint Mary's College of California

Saint Mary's College of California is proud to offer our MFA in Dance 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 intensive in June. To accommodate the personal and professional commitments of our students, we occasionally allow students to enter the program in other terms—however, this may vary the timing it takes to complete the program.The MFA in Dance 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. With this in mind, we schedule the majority of our practical and performance courses during the June and January intensives.
