    What are the differences between college and conservatory dance departments?

     

    At a conservatory you will be dancing most of the day as that is what you are there for. You will have few classes outside of ballet.

    At a college, it will be your major, but you will take ballet classes along with your other classes. A college will require you to take courses in the math & science area, the social sciences, language & culture, etc. Generally about 1/3 of your college credits will be in your major area.
