BFA Auditions and Individual Visits
BFA Auditions October 27 - 28, 2023 February 2 - 3, 2024
The Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance program is committed to cultivating a rigorous curriculum that draws upon multiple disciplinary and artistic approaches while encouraging students to position their own work and development within broad social contexts.
Our curriculum is designed to develop concrete skills in performance, choreography, and pedagogy and to instill an intellectually broad and deep appreciation of the role that dance plays in human culture around the world while ensuring our students are competitive in the current marketplace.
We are committed to academic excellence, diversity, freedom of expression, activism, social transformation and civic responsibility.
Our BFA program’s priority is to cultivate artist-citizens committed to leadership, community, equity and social justice.
Our program encourages integration of the curricular areas, supports an interdisciplinary approach, promotes the education of the whole person, values cultural and curricular diversity, and responds to the individual needs of students, faculty, the dance field, and our broader culture.
Students leave the program with the skills, perspective and imagination to be visionaries, advocates, and leaders in the field of dance and in their communities.
As Ohio State's early action application deadline approaches on November 1, we invite you to visit us in our beautiful Sullivant Hall to meet our students, faculty, and administrative team.
As one of the premier contemporary dance departments in the nation, we offer a BFA in Dance and a Dance Minor.
The major requires an audition; the minor does not. Plus, all Ohio State students are welcome to take elective and general education dance classes.
Other opportunities to dance in college include being involved in one of many dance-related student organizations or auditioning for athletics spirit teams.
We invite you to visit us for any of the following opportunities:
1. BFA Auditions - Our next round of auditions are October 27 - 28, 2023 and February 2 - 3, 2024. Apply now to attend!
2. We offer individual and group department visits for all of our academic programs.
We can offer you and your guests a program overview, Q & A session, a guided tour of our facilities, and a class observation during regular business hours Monday - Friday.

We look forward to seeing you at our auditions or at a department visit.
