Transfer Pattern Description:
These degree patterns are 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 other degree
requirements, program requirements, and electives, 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.
It is strongly recommended that students who wish to pursue studies in
these transfer patterns speak with the Dance program 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 administered at CCBC Essex. Dance classes are offered on all
CCBC campuses.
NOTE: Although these patterns follow a two-year plan, students who work
more than 15 hours per week or have other major obligations outside of
school are advised to take fewer courses each semester over a longer
period of time. Students who work 25 hours or more are advised to take
12 credits or less each semester.
The mission of the Dance program of The Community College of Baltimore
County is to provide students with opportunities to experience and learn
about a broad spectrum of dance (from classical ballet and various
styles of modern dance to the dance of cultures from around the world);
to partner with students in developing the physical and technical skills
necessary to communicate through dance and to articulate the knowledge
of dance; and to inspire students to participate in dance activities and
to foster the intellectual, creative, and spiritual growth of dancers by
instilling in them a commitment to artistic and personal excellence.
