 Return to: Programs
To major in music, students must pass an audition in the principal performance area and take a music aptitude examination. Based on the audition and examination, MUS 105, 108, 118 may be required. These courses do not count toward degree requirements. If a student fails MUS 108 or MUS 118 twice, the student shall be ineligible to continue in a music program.
All music majors must pass a junior qualifying examination or recital in the principal applied area before a degree will be granted. All students on the B.S.Ed. degree plan must pass a senior performance examination or recital in the principal applied area. MUS 171, 172, 173, 371, 372, 373 must (unless exempted) reflect the applied study area; only one will count per semester.
All wind and percussion majors in the B.A. program must include a minimum of 1 hour in marching band; those in the B.S.Ed. program must include an additional hour of marching band (2 hours total).
