Incoming freshmen and transfer students must take a theory placement test. Some may be required to complete MUS 031 - Fundamentals of Music Theory. This course does not count toward the major or minor degree program in music. Music majors must complete eight (8) semesters of an ensemble, i.e. band or choir, and eight (8) semesters of applied music study on a single instrument or voice. The required courses for the music major are indicated in the curriculum chart. All music majors and minors are required to attend recitals and other concerts as required by the music faculty. No credit is awarded for recital/concert attendance, which is graded on a pass/fail basis. Students must pass each semester in order to fulfill their graduation requirement. All music majors will give a half recital (30 minutes in length) in their junior year, and a full-length (45 minutes to an hour in length) senior recital.
