Graduate Teaching Fellows in Dance are integrated into the dance program as teaching assistants. In consultation with their academic advisors and the dance faculty, MFA candidates develop an assistantship schedule of approximately ten hours weekly; the courses they develop and teach are listed in the curriculum. All Teaching Fellows bring their own professional histories and contribute their own manners of teaching. Outside of listed class times, TBD, the Teaching Fellows will meet to discuss their courses with the designated faculty and with each other.

This course explores the major theoretical orientations in counseling, including psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and integrative approaches. Students will study the principles, techniques, and application of each theory, gaining practical skills for working with diverse client populations. Emphasis is placed on developing a personal counseling framework and integrating theory with practice through role-plays and case studies.
