The first step towards acceptance into the MFA in Dance program is submitting a complete application to the CU Boulder Graduate School. Departmental review, interviews, and auditions will follow.
Application Process
Online application: The first step is to submit the online Application for Graduate Admissions, including the appropriate fee. The application fee may be waived for participants in the following programs: McNair Scholar, Project 1000, active Peace Corps or AmeriCorps volunteer. If you have unusual circumstances that warrant a fee waiver, please contact us at thdngrad@colorado.edu.
Audition process: Our selection process is two-part and will involve an interview and an on-campus audition. After review of all applications, the Dance Faculty will invite selected applicants to an interview conducted over Zoom. Finalists will be invited to an on campus audition. Please see below for the audition timeline.
