Note: 48 hours of upper level credits are required for graduation. This number decreases by one hour for each upper level BI course taken for 2-hour credit.

*Ensemble Requirement: 8 hours with 6 upper-division hours. 2 semesters of lower division participation are required before registering for upper-division ensembles. Credit earned through membership in ensembles not sanctioned by the Fine Arts Department will not be counted toward graduation.

**Private Applied Lessons: 8 hours are required, of which at least 6 hours must be upper division. Students may take upper-division lessons after completing 2 semesters at the lower-division level, pending a recommendation by the jury. If piano is the principal instrument or if a student passes the Piano Proficiency Exam prior to taking Class Piano, then 2 additional hours of lower-division private lessons are required to substitute for Class Piano I and II (for a total of 10 hours of private instruction).
