The Department of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. The requirements for entrance and for graduation as set forth in this catalog are in accordance with the published regulations of that Association.
Degrees in Music
Two baccalaureate degrees in music are available: Bachelor of Music (see page 187 for general education requirements; see below for more detailed specific requirements); and the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in music (see page 184 of this catalog for general education requirements; see below for more detailed specific requirements). To achieve junior standing in the curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in music and the Bachelor of Music degree, the student must have completed 56 hours and must have maintained a cumulative grade average of "C'' in all music courses, with the exception of ensemble, by the end of the fourth semester. The student must also have earned a grade average of not less than "B'' in the major applied field of study during the sophomore year. This standing is prerequisite to all 3000-level courses and above in music.
Piano proficiency requirement: Students pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree must pass a piano proficiency examination upon entering the University of Arkansas or must register in piano class until this requirement is met.
On the basis of prior study in music, a student may be advised to omit one or more of the semesters of Aural Perception (MUTH 1621, 1631, 2621, 2631). Students will receive college credit for the omitted aural perception courses when they have validated their higher placement by passing the course in which they are placed with a grade of "B" or better.
Writing Requirement: Students can meet the Fulbright College Writing Requirement by submission of a satisfactory term paper for MUHS 4253.

Requirements for a Major in Music leading to a Bachelor of Arts Degree: This program is for undergraduates who wish to major in Music as part of a liberal arts program. A minimum of 42 semester hours in music to include: MUTH 1603, 1613, 1621, 1631, 2603, 2613, 2621, 2631; MUHS 3703, 3713, 4253; MUAC 1221, 1231; 8 hours (normally one or two hours per semester) of applied study on voice or on one instrument and 4 hours (4 semesters) of ensemble to be selected with the consent of their advisers.
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 with 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:
I. Performance
a. Full junior recital and full senior recital, both of honors quality
b. Directed studies: MUHS 4963, Seminar in Performance Practice and/or other studies as in catalog
(A program file representing the student's range of performance activities during the junior and senior years will be maintained for the department file and for the Honors Council. Cassette tapes of the junior and senior recitals will be filed with the Honors Office.)
II. History and Literature
a. Junior year--MUHS 5973, Seminar in Bibliography and Methods of Research
b. Senior year--MUHS 490H, Honors Essay (2 hours)
III. Theory
a. Junior year--MUHS 5973, Seminar in Bibliography and Methods of Research

IV. Composition

b. Senior year--an additional hour credit each semester in original composition and a full program of original compositions or equivalent.

b. (Honors Essay, 2 hours, course to be developed)
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.
