IV. ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESAdmission to the College of MusicThe College of Music offers undergraduate programs leading to the degrees of Bachelor ofMusic and Bachelor of Arts; each of those programs have been accredited by the NationalAssociation of Schools of Music.In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the University, acceptance into anundergraduate program in the College of Music requires satisfactory performance on a majorinstrument or in voice as determined by audition.Candidates who wish to major in composition and music theory must submit a portfolio forreview and approval by the area faculty.Transfer credit in music theory and music performance is validated by examination. Transfercredit in other music courses must have the approval of the College of Music.Music Theory Validation ExamsA course of study in music theory is required of each student in the College of Music. Studentswho have previously studied music theory have the one-time opportunity to place out of the firstand/or second semester of music theory and ear-training/sight-singing via a “Freshman-leveltheory” exam. This exam is offered by the music theory area on published audition days; it isalso offered during the first two days of fall semester, but it is strongly suggested that eachstudent take the exam at the time of audition because summer AOP (Academic OrientationProgram) relies on this information to adequately place students into courses that satisfycurricular requirements.First-Time Freshmen do not need to take the "Freshman-level Theory" exam (see below) if theywish to follow the regular course sequence from the beginning. However, students with a strongtheory background may attempt to waive a portion of freshman theory by taking the appropriatevalidation exam or exams. Many students will have already completed this theory testing duringtheir audition day participation.Guidelines for determining which exams must be taken:• Only new freshmen that have not yet taken the MUS 180 and/or 182 exams maytake these exams during the registration period.• Any new freshman that passes the MUS 180 exam is exempt from taking MUS180 but must take MUS 181 (student also may enroll in MUS 180). Similarly,any new freshman who passes the MUS 182 exam is exempt from taking MUS182 but must take MUS 183 (student also may enroll in MUS 182).• Transfer students who already have taken and passed one year of college-leveltheory (i.e., fundamentals, basic harmony, musicianship, etc.) must take the MUS181 exam. Students who fail this exam are required to enroll in MUS 181 (butthey may enroll in MUS 180 prior to taking MUS 181).37
• Transfer students who already have taken and passed one year of college-levelaural skills (ear training, sight singing, aural harmony) must take the MUS 183exam. Students who fail this exam are required to enroll in MUS 183 (but theymay enroll in MUS 182 prior to taking MUS 183).• Transfer students who already have taken and passed two years of college-leveltheory must take the MUS 280-281. Students who fail this exam will be requiredto enroll in MUS 280 or MUS 281.• Transfer students who already have taken and passed two years of college-levelaural skills must take the MUS 282-283 exam. Students who fail this exam will berequired to enroll in MUS 282 or MUS 283.THEORY VALIDATION EXAMS FOR 2008-2009New Freshmen:Freshman aural skills (MUS 182): Mon., 8/25 @10:30am, Room 102P; Prof. Leigh VanHandelFreshman level theory (MUS 180): Mon., 8/25 @11:00am, Room 102P; Prof. Leigh VanHandelTransfer Students:Freshman level theory (MUS 181): Mon., 8/25 @3:00pm, Room 102P;Prof. Ron NewmanFreshman level aural skills (MUS 183): Tue., 8/26 @12:40pm, Room 103P;Prof. Bruce TaggartSoph. level theory (MUS 280-281): Tue., 8/26 @1:50pm, Room 141MB; Prof. Gordon SlySoph. level aural skills (MUS 282-283): Tue., 8/26 @3:00pm, Room 419P, Prof. Bruce TaggartSpring '09New Freshmen:Freshman aural skills (MUS 182): Mon., 1/12 @10:30am, Room 102P; Prof. Leigh VanHandelFreshman level theory (MUS 180): Mon., 1/12 @11:00am, Room 102P;Prof. Leigh VanHandelTransfer Students:Freshman level theory (MUS 181): Mon., 1/12 @3:00pm, Room 219P; Prof. Ron NewmanFreshman level aural skills (MUS 183): Tue., 1/13 @12:40pm, Room 419P; Prof. Bruce TaggartSoph. level theory (MUS 280-281): Tue., 1/13 @3:00pm, Room 102P; Prof. Gordon SlySoph. level aural skills (MUS 282-283): Tue., 1/13 @1:50pm, Music Aud, Prof. Bruce Taggart.Advanced Placement Exams for General EducationStudents can receive credit through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB)Diploma Program, College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International A Levelexaminations.
