Overview
The Liberal Education for Arts Professionals program at Saint Mary's College of California is specifically designed to deliver a comprehensive liberal arts education to professional dancers and performing artists from around the country, with the goal of completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Performing Arts from Saint Mary's College of California through part-time study.
Course Schedule and Descriptions
LEAP class schedules are offered in two delivery models - online and hybrid - and each model recognizes and accomodates the unique challenges of students' professional schedules. Rather than asking students to attend on campus courses in a traditional college structure and format, the LEAP program brings the courses to the dancers. LEAP is committed to meeting students where they are, and offering an education that is intentionally designed to travel with the touring artist and flex around the rehearsal schedules that would otherwise disconnect students from a shared learning environment.
