+Enroll each semester in residence (except the semester of Clinical Practice) 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.
#Successful completion of MUSP 499C satisfies the integrative component in General Education curriculum as the capstone course for the BME degree. The Senior Recital also requires an accompanying research paper and oral presentation covering the works and composers to be performed.
*Students are exempt from these courses if in their major instrument family or by examination.
**Fulfills General Education and Professional Education technology requirement.
