Music students who have developed a strong interest in music history and literature and have demonstrated a high standard of academic achievement may apply to the chair of the musicology/composition/theory department for acceptance as a major in music history and literature. It is also possible to add music history and literature to an existing major for a double major. Application for admission to the music history and literature program is made prior to the end of the sophomore year. Applicants should submit sample papers to the department chair. The musicology faculty will review these papers. For full acceptance into the program, a student must have achieved a 3.0 average in each of the following groups of courses: music theory and history (MUCT 1510, 1520, 2510, 2610), world music or jazz (MUCT 2330, 2340 or 2350; MUSP 2190 or MUCT 2370), and aural skills (MUCT 1410, 1420, 2410). Students with an average of 2.5 to 2.9 may be accepted as majors on probationary status. Students accepted on this status must achieve a 3.0 average in major area courses within two semesters, summer excluded. Failure to do so will result in discontinuation as a music history and literature major.
