The Master of Fine Arts in Dance develops choreographers and dance artists who are in command of their idiom as a basis for meaningful aesthetic statements. The MFA program emphasizes appreciation and comprehension of the body in movement; sensitivity to personal artistic qualities and sources; interdisciplinary perspectives; mastery of craft; and an awareness of the social, cultural and historical implications of dance. The program educates dance artists who balance the ability to realize their own creative potential and aesthetic with an awareness of the societal implications of their work. The faculty has a commitment to integrate a purely artistic approach to dance and dance-making, and a more holistic view of the human being in a cultural context. An important objective of the MFA program is that each student develops a personal aesthetic, which manifests an understanding of his or her place in the world.

The PhD program strives to develop flexible professionals who have a sense of agency and vision in a world of diverse peoples and cultures, and the ability to negotiate a rapidly changing technological environment. Doctoral students acquire skills to envision new paradigms for the arts and education, to create new knowledge through research, and to forge new integrations between disciplines. These goals are achieved through a comprehensive curriculum, faculty mentorship, and research partnerships. The subdisciplines of the curriculum are organized into four major subdivisions: • dance research • cultural studies in dance • dance processes • professional applications The Temple doctoral experience is designed to culminate in the acquirement of a specific set of research and professional skills, a unique sense of professional identity, purpose, and worldview, and a portfolio of professional attainment in scholarly enterprise and academic/dance community leadership.
