Undergraduate Admisions FAQ
Does the World Arts and Cultures Department offer
any scholarships to incoming students?
Unfortunately we only able to offer scholarships of modest amounts
to our continuing students. Some scholarships are being offered
to new students through the UCLA
Alumni Association. The Financial
Aid Office works closely with all students who need financial
assistance. A financial aid award generally consists of a combination
of scholarships and grant money from UCLA and other sources, low-interest
loans, and a work-study job during the academic year.
As a transfer student, is there any coursework you recommend
that I take?
California
community college students are strongly encouraged to complete
IGETC
requirements; all other transfer students are encouraged to make
progress toward completion of the UCLA
School of the Arts and Architecture general education requirements.
Beyond the IGETC/General Education courses, it is recommended
that dance concentration students take any and all courses offered
in the area of choreography, improvisation, and forms of technique
offered. Cultural studies students are encouraged to take additional
courses offered in their area of interest (i.e. anthropology,
art history, folklore, ethnic studies, gender studies, etc.).
What happens at the dance auditions?
Group technique sessions are offered in the morning, followed
by individual auditions. The group technique session often includes
a section in modern, one in improvisation, and one in a world
dance form. It is not expected that you will have had any specific
training in any forms presented. The faculty would like to see
how applicants take on new movement. You will also be asked to
perform a 1-minute piece of your own choreography in a style most
comfortable to you.
I believe that I must prepare two personal essays for your
department. What are the themes for those two essays? I have already
written one for the UC application and I just wanted to be prepared.
Please save a copy of the essay you sent to the University, as
we do not have access to it and will request it when we send you
the request for supplementary/additional material (which will
be sometime mid-December). The additional essays we request are
fairly short and deal with describing your personal background
and experience(s) as well as your specific interests in majoring
in and goals you wish to accomplish within our major.
