Music requires disciplined skill development and careful sequencing of specific courses. Starting with the freshman year, students enroll in two University Studies courses per semester with the balance of coursework in music. This pattern continues throughout the degree program. Additional non-music courses may be required to satisfy deficiencies. Due to the substantial degree requirement, summer school is frequently encouraged.
