Advisement

Information is available in the Music Office (SH 72) detailing the B.A. and B.M. curricula. All students should meet with an area advisor at registration each semester. Majors in the Department of Music are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5. Those who fall below that number will be called in for a conference with a departmental advisor to discuss ways of improving academic performance. The advisor may recommend taking a particular course for better preparation, meeting with a tutor in the Writing Center, taking a course load lower than 15 credits, or other strategies for achieving academic success. All students should try to maintain the highest possible GPA in order to enhance their prospects for acceptance to graduate programs and career opportunities.
