Sample Four-Year Plan of Study 2018-2019
The following are sample plans of course requirements to complete the Music major in four years or eight semesters.
- Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work or credit for prior learning (such as Advanced Placement-AP).
- Math, English, and Reading placement is based on the student’s ACT/SAT scores or placement tests.
- If fundamental courses are required, they should be taken within the first year.
NOTE: Four-year plans assume the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semester hours may be required to complete the degree.
Refer to the program page or course descriptions for additional information about this major and requirements to degree.
