Due to the selectivity of the BA Dance program, all prospective applicants are now required to submit a pre-screen audition for initial review through the Creative Supplement. All applicants are also required to submit a Common Application and all other corresponding admission documents to be considered for admission to the University. To be offered admission for the Dance program at Chapman, students must be both academically accepted to the University and artistically accepted into the program.
Once the admission committee and dance faculty have reviewed your application and uploaded pre-screen audition, you may be invited to attend an in-person audition and interview on our main campus. All prospective applicants will be reviewed by the Admission and Dance committee prior to admission decisions being released. Talent Awards are considered upon review of your Creative Supplement submission and/or audition. No additional paperwork or application is required.
NOTE: All incoming Dance majors begin in the BA program track that provides an excellent comprehensive education in dance and technique training. For students who want to pursue more intense dance training, the BFA track is available and requires an additional audition spring of sophomore year. For acceptance as a minor, students must submit an application once they are a current Chapman student.
