In addition to these 3 required courses, Dance Studies majors must complete 2 
additional courses in a discipline other than Dance in order to provide 
additional perspectives on dance studies and inform their final project in 
Methods of Inquiry. These 2 additional courses may not double count with LAS 
Core courses and will be selected in collaboration with your dance faculty 
counselor. These courses will not display as part of your major in the Advising 
Guide, but will count toward your major in your official graduation audit.
