Each academic unit or department establishes the course requirements for each major program, concentrations within a major, and related-area requirements. All program requirements follow the general structure described below. A number of programs have requirements that must be met before the student can be formally admitted to the major and is permitted to take upper level courses. Such requirements usually involve completion of foundation courses, achievement of a certain GPA, and completion of a specified number of credit hours.
Some programs require portfolio review or audtions.
See individual programs for details. These requirements, including any specific course requirements for a given program, will be listed prior to the major course requirements. Major Requirements Major requirements will indicate all courses that must be taken within the major program for completion of the degree. Majors that provide students with more than one concentration or area of study within the major will usually divide the Major Requirements into Core Requirements and Additional Concentration Requirements. Core Requirements are those courses required by all students in the major, regardless of concentration.
