Graduation Requirements
In order to graduate with a BFA in Dance (with the major options of Ballet Performance or Pedagogy or Modern Dance) students must complete a minimum of 124 credit hours, forty of which are general education requirements.
Admission/Retention Policy:
The freshman year at the University of Oklahoma is spent in University College, which is not a degree granting college. Transfer to the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts from University College is automatic upon completion of 24 hours with a minimum 2.50 g.p.a. As of Fall 2003, all remedial classes in the areas of English, Math and the Sciences must be completed before students will be eligible for transfer to the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts. Students should refer to the university catalogue for University-wide minimum standards.
Students who do not meet the minimum g.p.a. (OU retention and combined retention) required by the various schools within the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts may be admitted under an Academic Performance/Probation Contract. Students who do not fulfill the requirements of their Academic Performance/Probation Contract within the allotted time, will be dismissed from the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts. Students who have been dismissed from the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts are not allowed to enroll in Fine Arts classes designed and/or designated for majors only. All transfer students shall meet the same requirements for admission as students entering the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts from other divisions of the University of Oklahoma.
