The Division of Music, a division of Fine Arts, offers course work leading to the following degrees: Bachelor of Music with majors in jazz studies, music education, performance, and composition; Bachelor of Arts in Music; Master of Music; Doctor of Musical Arts; and Doctor of Philosophy. The Division of Music participates with the Division of Dance in providing course work for the drama-musical theatre major offered by the Department of Theatre Arts for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. The division is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music, and the requirements for entrance and graduation as set forth in this catalog are in accordance with the published standards of that association.
Entrance Requirements: Entrance examinations in musicianship and the major performance area are required. All freshmen and transfer music majors (except piano and organ performance majors) must audition for placement in class or group piano instruction. These courses should be taken concurrently with MUS 120a-120b and 220a-220b. Students desiring the B.A. in Music or the B.M. with a major other than performance must meet the requirements for registration in MUSI 181 in their major performance area. B.M. students majoring in performance must meet the requirements for registration in MUSI 185 in their major performance area. Admission to the 181 level requires minimum performance skill equivalent to at least two years of recent private study and/or four years of recent membership in school or community organizations. Admission to the MUSI 185 level requires a minimum of five years of private study or ensemble/solo experience resulting in sufficient advancement that the student shows promise of being at a professional level after completion of four years of undergraduate study. MUSI 180 serves as a remedial course of study for the student who does not qualify for MUSI 181, but who possesses good basic playing skills and music comprehension. Enrollment is contingent upon audition and availability. Detailed information regarding entrance and degree requirements is available from the Director of the Division of Music.
