At Dean, we don’t just want our students to read a book, listen to a lecture, or take a test. We also want them to participate in hands-on opportunities both inside and outside the classroom—applying what they learn to real-world scenarios. Whether that’s acting on a stage as a theatre major or getting behind the mic as a sports broadcasting major, we empower our students to perform at the highest level. Dean students also benefit from academic partnerships with local organizations, learning from and networking with industry leaders. The Dean Career Advantage offers many experiential opportunities to our students, including immersion courses, study away programs, master classes, internships, and research projects, which all help to unlock our students’ full potential on their paths to success. PERFORM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
I was on stage by the end of my first semester in the New Dancers Showcase, I participated in a master class with an actor from “Kinky Boots,” and by junior year, I was directing a dance piece I created inspired by my study abroad experience in Argentina. I also interned with Jacob’s Pillow, where I learned a lot about what it takes to be a professional dancer and to build a season of shows.
