Music
Overview
Students majoring in Music must choose one of the following concentrations to pursue: music production; composition; instrumental performance; vocal performance; ethnomusicology or popular music; musicology; or music theory and analysis. 考虑这些曲目的学生应该在第一年开始参加适当的入门级音乐理论课程. All concentrations require music theory, 许多音乐课程(包括所有的制作课程)都有音乐理论的先决条件. Students with no prior music theory experience must take MUSC 101, offered in the fall semester. 有一些音乐理论经验的学生应该参加音乐理论分班考试，看看他们是否能通过 MUSC 151, offered in the spring semester.
所有想要申请音乐专业的学生必须完成 MUSC 151 with a grade of B-minus or higher. 希望申报音乐制作专业的学生也必须完成 MUSC 148 with a grade of B-minus or higher. 这两门课程必须在大二结束前完成.
考虑在大三出国留学的学生必须在第一年开始学习音乐理论课程，并且应该只考虑可以促进他们在特定音乐专业集中的海外学习项目. 我们提供一门辅修课程，民族音乐学和流行音乐.
