We have built our academic programs on an outcomes-based education model, giving you lots of latitude to design an Individual Learning Plan to achieve your personal target outcomes while also satisfying University Learning Requirements, Graduation Learning Outcomes and Major Learning Outcomes. Given that, you should consider the pathways listed below only as possibilities.
These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.
Special Note
1) Entry Level Skills Tests: Student may need to complete remedial English and math courses, based on the ELM/EPT exams. Students who need remedial courses should plan at least one additional semester in their individual pathways.
2) Language Requirement: Freshman will need to acquire language proficiency through the fourth level (101,102, 201 and 202).
Students with proficiency in a language (whether from coursework completed in high school or fluency) should consult with the World Languages and Cultures Department for either placement levels or to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to satisfy the language requirements.
3) Musicianship & Theory Requirement: Students who have not taken the prerequisite coursework in all Musicianship and Theory courses can take an assessment test to measure their musical skills, and, with a satisfactory grade on that test, have the requirement waived.
You must earn nine upper-division General Education credits after you have reached upper-division status. Upper-division GE courses taken when you are a lower-division student do not count toward this requirement.
