Dance Minor and Immersion
As part of your bachelor’s degree requirements, you’ll enhance your core studies by completing an immersion (a concentration of three courses in your particular area). You can also complement your major, develop another area of professional expertise, or pursue a personal interest by completing a minor.
Minors
A minor can complement an undergraduate student’s major, help them develop another area of professional expertise, or enable them to pursue an area of personal interest. Completion of a minor is formally designated on the baccalaureate transcript, which serves to highlight this accomplishment to employers and graduate schools.
Dance Minor
The Dance minor provides students with an overview of dance by exploring its contemporary applications through experiential and academic methods. Students will have the opportunity to actively experience, analyze, and participate in dance as an art form, exploration of movement, and as a means of creative and personal expression. The minor requires students to take a course focusing on World Dance & Culture to provide cultural perspectives, and examine dance traditions and movement through historical, critical, artistic, and socio-cultural contexts.

Immersions
Undergraduate students must complete an immersion—a concentration of three courses in a particular area. These courses support deeper learning within a focus area and are used to meet RIT’s general education requirements. In many cases, an immersion can lead to a minor with the addition of two courses. However, not all minors have a corresponding immersion, and vice versa.
