myCSUSMThe Dance Studies Program at CSU San Marcos is committed to offering students an understanding of contemporary dance practice and performance within an ever-changing social and political context. Through collaborative and community-based projects, students gain an appreciation and respect for diversity and inclusivity through embodied learning. Students can pursue a Minor in Dance Studies or design a Special Major, which can include a dance/performance component in conjunction with another discipline.
