Will the Mason Gross B.A. degree in dance and minor in dance lead to PK-12 dance-teacher certification?
No, only the B.F.A. is linked to the Ed.M. degree, requiring a strong artistry component as an aspect of the Ed.M. track. Students enrolled in the Mason Gross B.A. or minor tracks are encouraged to audition and apply for the postbaccalaureate Ed.M. degree. To be accepted, applicants will need to demonstrate strong performance skills in the audition. During the admissions process the undergraduate transcript is reviewed. If accepted into the program, students may be informed of a requirement to complete additional courses on par with the B.F.A. track, thus potentially lengthening degree study.
