MUSIC AT CHARLOTTE DANCE

DANCE

At UNC Charlotte, studies go beyond the Department of Music and into Charlotte’s creative community. With bold ideas and broad connections, our talented faculty, students, and alumni are shaping the civic imagination of this fast-growing city.

As one of five units in the vibrant and innovative College of Arts + Architecture, we invite you to join our program as we demonstrate the transformative power of music.

WE OFFER DANCE

An intimate program where instruction is taught by experts in their fields rather than graduate assistants

A nurturing environment within a large research university and the College of Arts + Architecture, a creative and diverse community of artists, designers, actors, dancers, and musicians

One hundred percent job placement of music educators who seek teaching positions upon graduation

A caring and nurturing faculty of expert scholars and performers with national reputations

The Department of Music is an Associate Member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). Of the 1600+ schools of music in the U.S., less than a third have this distinction. UNC Charlotte is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Our music education program is nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and approved by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

UNC Charlotte is committed to equality of educational opportunity and does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, actual or perceived gender identity, gender expression, age, national origin, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, veteran status, or genetic information.
