This examination should be passed by the junior year. Consult the Department for examination requirements. All students intending to enroll in MUS 030A must take a music theory diagnostic examination, which is given at the beginning of instruction. MUS 031 is normally taken for a total of three quarters, or until proficiency for admission to MUS 131 is achieved. The proficiency level of MUS 131, or the completion of three quarters of MUS 131, is required for graduation.
All students normally participate in a major ensemble each quarter.
Admission to any ensemble course is by consent of instructor. All students intending to participate in an ensemble course must audition during registration. The minor in Music has been designed for students who wish to continue their musical studies while pursuing another major. This is a prerequisite for all later studies in the minor. See Minors under the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in the Undergraduate Studies section for additional information on minors.
