Students enrolled within a degree program may elect to take the Minor in Pilates which is separate from the Minor in Dance. The minor incorporates a professional internship with opportunities of employment in the global Pilates field as trainers, teachers, rehabilitation therapists, and practitioners. The minor requires more courses than the certificate in order to incorporate a more complete approach to tactile cueing. Students can take either DAN 108 - Pilates I for 1 credit or PEX 161 - Pilates I for 1 credit under Physical Education. Both DAN 108 and PEX 161 are taught by the same instructors.
