Admission to the TCU School for Classical & Contemporary Dance
Undergraduate Admission
Undergraduate admission to the School for Classical & Contemporary Dance at TCU is a two-step process:
- Application/acceptance through TCU Office of Admission
- Application/audition/acceptance to the TCU SCCDance
There is no specific sequence for these two applications, but you must be accepted to TCU before we can finalize your acceptance to the SCCDance. In addition to meeting all admission requirements to the University, candidates for admission to the School for Classical & Contemporary Dance must complete an audition.
