Dance
Career and Co-op Options
The dance major is designed for students to focus on
one of two career options. Each option can lead to graduate study at Drexel or be
completed at the end of four years. Each also includes a co-op experience that allows for extended interaction with the professional dance therapy and education communities. Students
wishing to change career focus throughout the course of the undergraduate curriculum
will have the option to do so.
Students focusing on dance/movement therapy participate in a six
month co-op experience during the spring and summer terms of their junior year. These students may participate in co-op with a practicing dance/movement therapist,
community dance artist, or mental health professional in a mental health, social service,
rehabilitation, medical, special education or community arts setting.
Students focusing on dance in eductation participate in after school dance clubs,
artist in residence school programs and auditorium lecture demonstration programs as
part of a community outreach dance company run by the dance program at Drexel during
the fall and winter of their junior year as their co-op experience.

Steinbright Career Development Center page for more detailed information on co-op and post-graduate opportunities.
