Program Description

The Dance Minor is designed to be flexible yet ensure that students grapple with the fundamental practices of doing, making, and thinking dance. Included in the curriculum are courses that explore choreographing dance and studying dance as a historical and cultural behavior, as well as more familiar dance technique courses.

Department of Performing and Media Arts Minors

The Department of Performing and Media Arts offers four minors. In addition, the Department administers the interdisciplinary Media Studies minor. The minors are open to all undergraduate students in the university, including those outside the College of Arts and Sciences, and require at least 15 credits per minor. To declare a minor, you will need to contact pma-dus@cornell.edu. All credit toward the minor must be from PMA courses taken at Cornell or from PMA courses taken with Cornell approved programs. Independent Study courses do not count toward any PMA minor.
