The University of Oregon offers three Master's Degrees in dance:
Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees in dance.
These programs offer a flexible course of study rooted in contemporary dance practice and theory. In addition, the M.F.A. gives a unique and full exposure to teaching in the university context. The department welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and is committed to learning in multiple modes. Areas of interest include: choreography, pedagogy, performance, theory, collaboration and technology. The department is housed in the School of Music and Dance.
Full-time students with adequate undergraduate preparation can usually complete M.A. and M. S. degree programs in two years if their area of specialization is designated during the first year. Graduate students who enter with deficiencies or do not decide on a specialization in the first year typically take three years to complete a master's degree. The M.F.A. takes three years.
