1. University Application: Submit an application to the University at Buffalo through our UB Undergraduate Admissions. 
2. Audition: Register for a departmental audition and submit all required materials and audition video via the registration form.  Interested students can register for an audition online. Auditions should occur prior to matriculation at UB (typically in your Senior Year). Current students who wish to audition should speak to the Academic Manager regarding time to degree completion. Auditions for Acting are conducted on a rolling basis.
   
   Students must be accepted both by the University via the online application and by the department via an audition.  

Acceptance into the BA and BFA Dance Programs at the University at Buffalo, is a two-step process. You must apply to the University at Buffalo through UB Undergraduate Admissions and complete a Dance Program Audition. We encourage you to complete your application to the University at the same time as you register for your Dance audition. 

Although acceptance to the University is required for admission, you do not have to wait to be accepted to the University in order to audition. Prospective students are encouraged to audition prior to being accepted by the University. We welcome you to audition at your convenience. 

An audition is required for both BA and BFA Dance degree programs. Students admitted to the University and the Dance Program will select the BA or BFA degree track based on their educational and career goals. Due to the BFA program’s high credit requirement, BFA students will participate in an annual review process. 

Transfer students wishing to pursue the BFA degree and current UB students who audition for the BA or BFA degree should contact the Theatre and Dance Director of Undergraduate Studies to discuss their degree completion timetable. 

Theatre and Dance offers a Dance Minor that does not require an audition. Dance Minors and other non-dance majors wishing to take dance technique courses can register for dance courses listed as “open”. For example, Open Jazz, Open Hip Hop or Open Ballet.
