CHANGE: MU 3221: CLASSIC AND ROMANTIC
MUSIC
Purpose
and nature of change: add/clarify
pre-requisite to comply with music
continuation policy
Prerequisites: (Courses which MUST be
completed prior to taking this course)
MU 2220. Music majors must earn
a grade of C or better in MU 2220.
Purpose
and nature of change: add/clarify
pre-requisite to comply with music
continuation policy
Prerequisites: (Courses which MUST be
completed prior to taking this course)
MU 3221. Music majors must earn
a grade of C or better in MU 3221.
Rationale
for change:
Compliance with NASM Standards
One of
the NASM standards for General Education
Competency states that student
graduating with liberal arts degrees
have: “Understanding of and
experience in one or more art forms
other than music.” Previously the
BA program in Music had a requirement
that satisfied this competency, but in
the 120 hour program revision this
requirement was eliminated. The
Music Department seeks to require that 3
credits within Block 6: General
Education Electives be in the area of
Art History, Art, or Theatre.
These course prefixes (ARH, ART, and
THT) are currently listed in the
catalogue as General Education
Electives.
New Degree and Program Title (attach a
new ER): Bachelor of Arts in Music List all changes:
11. PROGRAM
CHANGE: MUSIC WITH ELECTIVE STUDIES IN
BUSINESS
Rationale
for change:
The music department seeks to add three
course credits to the existing Bachelor
of Music with Elective Studies in
Business. This will bring the program
total number of credits from 117 to 120
(in the previous ER, MU 2220 - WESTERN
MUSIC TO 1750 had been erroneously
counted twice, under both Music and
Humanities). This change will also
satisfy a requirement set forth by the
National Association of Schools of Music
(NASM) for a basic conducting course in
all Bachelor of Music programs.
NASM
guidelines recommend that for BM degrees
at least 50% of the coursework be in the
area of music. This change will bring
the total number of music core credits
from 59 to 62 out of 120.
List all
changes:
12.
PROGRAM CHANGE: MUSIC WITH EMPHASIS IN MUSIC
TECHNOLOGY
Rationale
for change:
The music
department seeks to add three course
credits to the existing Bachelor of
Music with Emphasis in Music Technology.
This will bring the program total number
of credits from 117 to 120 (in the
previous ER, MU 2220 – WESTERN MUSIC TO
1750 was erroneously counted twice,
under both music and humanities). This
change will also satisfy a requirement
set forth by the National Association of
Schools of Music (NASM) for a basic
conducting course in all Bachelor of
Music programs.
In
addition, MU 1104 INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC
TECHNOLOGY (1 credit) will become a
requirement of this area of emphasis
(this course was added last year to fill
a need for a basic introductory course
in music technology).
NASM
guidelines recommend that for BM degrees
at least 50% of the coursework be in the
area of music. This change will bring
the total number of music core credits
from 59 to 61 out of 120.
