All students applying to the dance program of Mason Gross School of the Arts must audition before a committee of the dance faculty, in addition to completing the general undergraduate admissions procedures. There are four audition opportunities each year, one in late fall and the remainder during the spring semester. In cases where extreme distance prohibits an in-person audition, permission may be obtained to submit a videotape. After filing an application for admission with the Office of University Undergraduate Admissions, students should contact Mason Gross School of the Arts Department of Dance for audition information.
