| 1 | A placement examination in keyboard skills determines the student's placement in the Class Study in Piano courses. Students with a concentration in piano or organ do not take Class Study in Piano. Students not required to take four semesters of class piano will take additional elective credits. |
| 2 | Students take the courses from MUSIC 351-355 and MUSIC 415F/G/I that are in the area (woodwinds, brass, or percussion) of their major instrument. Because of the varied required credits in MUSIC 351-355, brass players are required to take on additional elective credit; percussionists are required to take two additional 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 (wind or percussion 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 . |
