A Bachelor of Arts degree with a combination of music-drama major may be obtained. See the chairman of the music department for the specific courses required for the degree. Requirements for Departmental Honors in Music: The Departmental Honors Program in Music provides upper-division undergraduate students an opportunity to participate formally in scholarly, creative, or performance music activities. Honors candidates carry out independent study, research and performance under the guidance of the music faculty and participate in special honors classes and seminars. They must take 12 hours (which may include 6 hours of thesis) in Honors Studies. For each student there is a committee consisting of at least the honors adviser, the major teacher in the area of the honors project, a member from a department outside the music department (chosen by the student), and a member of the Honors Council. This committee is responsible for hearing and seeing the work of the student in the area of the honors project and will administer the oral examination to the candidate at the end of the last semester of the student's work. The committee then recommends to the Honors Council whether or not the student receives honors in music. Outstanding student achievement will be recognized by awarding the distinction Music Scholar Cum Laude at graduation. The award of higher degree distinctions is recommended only in truly exceptional cases and is based upon the whole of the candidate's program of honors studies. The student may elect to do the honors project in one of five areas: performance, music history and literature, theory, composition, or music education. The Honors work may be done in an area other than the student's major area that is, a student majoring in voice performance may elect to do honors work in music history, theory, or composition, etc. If a student wishes to devise his or her own honors project in consultation with a supervising professor and with the permission of the department chair, he or she may be granted honors. If a student wishes to combine work in more than one field and if the committee approves, he or she may be granted honors in more than one area, although the designation on the diploma will read "in music". The requirements for work in each area are as follows:
Requirements for a Minor in Music: A minimum of 18 semester hours in music courses, of which at least nine hours must be selected from MUTH, MUHS, and/or MLIT courses, the specific courses to be determined by the student in consultation with a music faculty adviser; the adviser to be appointed by the music faculty on the basis of each student's particular interests. The student must notify the Department of Music of his/her intent to minor. For requirements for advanced degrees in music, see the Graduate School Catalog.
