Transfer Pattern Description:
This Arts and Sciences degree pattern is designed to help students
transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree
with a major in Dance. Beyond the General Education requirements and
options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements
of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a
transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific
requirements. Since four-year institutions vary widely in their
requirements, it is strongly recommended that students who wish to
pursue studies in this transfer pattern speak with the Dance department
coordinator before registering for courses. The sequence of courses
should be adjusted to meet the requirements of the transfer
institutions. The CCBC Dance program is administrated at CCBC Essex.
Dance classes are offered on all CCBC campuses.
