I did in fact do a search in MT forum, prior to my post, on Northwestern and dance, and did not get my central question addressed. Perhaps I should have done some different search?

Perhaps I didn't explain myself properly.

My central question was not so much about whether MT at Northwestern is an actual major or if instead it is a certificate program, or a concentration.

Whatever it is called apparently its "program" is of sufficient stature to merit a separate sub-heading under "Musical Theater Schools" on CC. Or are you saying this designation is in error, and the "program" there really isn't a serious one like the others are? IF this is the case, well ok. Otherwise, I'd have thought they have to have dance, no?

What I really wanted to know is whether the students at Northwestern that are interested in MT, irrespective of how this program is certificated, can get adequate continued training in dance, and how does this happen there?

Because my daughter claims to have looked into it a bit and claims there's like no dance.

Hopefully my specific question is clearer now.
