Note:

* This course is part of the general education core.

** Students will complete the remaining six hours of the humanities requirement, including one course in literature, at universities upon transfer.

Students who plan to transfer to the University of Memphis should complete a course in literature rather than in music appreciation.

Students must successfully complete placement requirements in music theory, ear training, and piano at the university where transfer is planned. Students must also successfully complete required university auditions as appropriate.
