Transfer Information<\/h2>\n
\n

The Associate of Arts degree in Dance is designed to allow students to complete the first two years of study towards a bachelor’s degree (BA or BS) in dance. Students are strongly encouraged to select a transfer destination by the time they have completed 24 semester credit hours.<\/p>\n

Advice for students planning to transfer:<\/i><\/p>\n

1. Meet with the department chair as soon as you decide where you want to go to make sure you are on track.
2. Students may take additional dance technique, improvisation, performance, or choreography classes for personal enrichment through ACC\u2019s Continuing Education Department. These classes are less expensive than private studio classes. You can find Lifelong<\/span> Learning dance courses here: continue.austincc.edu<\/a>. These classes are less expensive than private studio classes.<\/p>\n

Common majors dance students pursue at a four-year institution include:\u00a0<\/strong>Dance, Dance Performance, Dance Science, Theater and Dance – Dance Emphasis, Performance Studies<\/p>\n
