Music (MUS) Advising Information
Music courses are intended to be of interest to all students. For those who have no formal training in music but want to learn about it, general information courses are offered.
These courses help students focus on their musical interests. Lower division music courses are designed to fulfill the first two years of requirements for students who plan to major or minor in music at the upper division level. The main areas of study are: music theory and skills, music history and literature, group performance and applied music. Our music curriculum mirrors courses required by fouryear institutions. Students planning to transfer should consult the receiving institution regarding the specific transferability and application of course credit.
