1 Three credits of MUEN large ensemble courses meet the requirement for BRCC: Bridges Communication and Creative Expression.

2 Several Essential Questions Seminars also meet PHIL and/or THEO requirements.

3 Physics 170—Acoustics is recommended. Available spring semesters only.

4 Offered in fall semesters of odd-numbered years. Students enroll concurrently in both courses. Each class is a half-semester long. Students will start the semester in Career Perspectives in Music I and switch to Career Perspectives in Music II halfway through the semester. Details of course dates are available in the university’s academic calendar.

5 Four semesters of MUPF 411 are required.

6 Occurs each spring—string players should take it the spring semester of even-numbered years, before Piano Pedagogy I (which typically occurs in fall semesters of even-numbered years).
