Best Dance/Academic combinations we found in our travels were Oklahoma, Fordham, Rutgers, Indiana and SMU. NYU really discouraged dual-majoring, and it would take at least and extra year to accomplish. Large public universities are better equipped for dual majoring because studio time is usually fixed from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, and it’s hard to work academics around it, especially if it’s a smaller school with fewer section offerings. Also, when there are performances and workshops, those tend to be late afternoons and early evenings, and can really jam up the dancers.
