  • Students wishing to teach dance in Georgia's public and other accredited schools grades P-12 may participate in the Teacher Certification program. The Teacher Certification program is optional and students must complete an additional 24 credit hours (9 credits education, 3 kinesiology, and 12 student teaching) beyond the 120 hours required for the B.F.A. in Dance. The B.F.A. degree program, along with the 24 semester hours, fulfills all requirements for teacher certification by the Department of Education for the State of Georgia. Students from outside Georgia who wish to teach in the schools of their home states find that certification requirements vary little from state to state.
