FRESHMAN STUDY PLAN FOR DTH MAJORS

At the end of the Freshman year all majors will be evaluated by a faculty committee for academic stability in required courses, growth in performance skills, and level of commitment and contribution to the goals of the department. The evaluation will assess both theoretical and practical areas of knowledge and will determine the advisability of proceeding on to complete the major.

Failure to achieve satisfactory progress may result in one of the following:
• the student must withdraw from the major and choose another,
• OR, upon recommendation of the faculty review, the student may continue in a provisional status. Provisional status may require retaking certain courses and/or additional study for the completion of the degree.

Transfer students will be reviewed upon entering the Department and at the end of their first semester of full time study at the College.

Students must have completed with a grade of C or better or enrolled in the following courses by the Spring of the first year of study:

FRESHMEN MUST TAKE DTH 1000 CREATIVE PROCESS, preferably in the Fall semester.  Creative Process is an entry level course required for the major and is a prerequisite for all other courses in the department, except basic level dance technique courses, which may be taken at the same time.
