A placement examination in keyboard skills determines the student's placement in the Class Study in Piano courses. Students not required to take four semesters of class piano will take additional music elective credits.

c

ENGL 150 requires concurrent enrollment in LIB 160.

The BM degree requires a minimum of 124.5 credits, including a minimum of 45 credits at the 300/400 level. The LAS World Language requirements must be met. Courses which may be used for the General Education Requirements can be found at: (http://www.las.iastate.edu/academics/generaleducation/index.shtml) All ISU students must complete a three-credit course in U.S. diversity and a three-credit course in international perspectives (which is satisfied with MUSIC 383). A list of approved courses can be found at:: (http://www.registrar.iastate.edu/courses/div-ip-guide.html) The courses taken to meet these requirements may also be used to meet other requirements.

Flexibility in scheduling. Many general education courses can easily be taken in different semesters than indicated. Music courses are best kept in the order/semesters indicated. (Most music courses are offered on semester each year.)

*

Some advanced theory and history courses (string major requires 1 history, 2 theory) are not offered every semester. Semesters of offerings are listed in the course descriptions in the catalog at: http://www.music.iastate.edu/info/advising.
