UWM Peck School Department of Dance Receives NASD Accreditation

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts announced today that the Department of Dance has received accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD).

NASD is an association of approximately 72 schools of dance, primarily at the collegiate level, but also including postsecondary non-degree-granting schools of dance. It is the national accrediting agency for dance and dance-related disciplines.

"It is an incredible honor to be included among the elite few accredited schools of dance in the U.S.," said Simone Ferro, Chair of the Department of Dance. "I would like to thank former faculty member Janet Lilly for her leadership in this process; Peck School of the Arts Dean Wade Hobgood and Associate Dean Scott Emmons for their support and encouragement; and our faculty, staff and students for all their hard work in making this possible."

"This distinction validates the stellar reputation of our dance faculty, staff and students in the Peck School of the Arts," said Dean Wade Hobgood.
