+Enroll each semester in residence in the course appropriate to the results of the placement audition, Private Applied instrument area, upper-division assessment and class standing. Students who are in residence for more than four full academic years are required to enroll for additional credit hours beyond those listed. Private Applied in the principal instrument requires a performance examination before a jury of faculty members in their principal applied area at the end of each semester.
#MUSP 360 — Junior Recital requires a formal recital and MUSP 499C — Senior Recital requires a formal recital. Successful completion of MUSP 499C satisfies the integrative component in General Education curriculum as the capstone course for the BM degree and satisfies three credit hours of upper-division Private Applied. The Senior Recital also requires an accompanying research paper and oral presentation covering the works and composers to be performed.
**Credit hours must be at the upper-division level (300-level courses or above).
