This pathway is one example of how you might complete all the requirements for your degree in an order that makes sense given prerequisites. It is meant to give you a general sense of what your education will look like.
Your own unique situation and a number of other factors may mean your actual pathway is different. Perhaps you'll need an extra math or language class, or one of the courses we've listed isn't offered in a particular semester. Don't worry - there is flexibility built into the curriculum. You'll want to work closely with an advisor and use the academic advisement report to take all that into account and develop a pathway that's customized for you.
In the meantime, use this example as a starting point for choosing classes or discussing your plans with an advisor. Your advisor is your best resource when it comes to figuring out how to fit all the courses you need, in the right sequence, into your personal academic plan.
PLEASE NOTE: All transfers are considered to have taken lower division requirements (such as Musicianship & Theory and Keyboard), however you will be required to take a Musicianship & Theory Diagnostic Placement Assessment to ensure success in the concentration, as there is an emphasis on music literacy and mastery of theory. If a student does not pass the assessment with a C- or above, they will need to enroll in our Musicianship and Theory sequence as per the assessments outcome. If a transfer student has not completed these requirements prior to CSUMB, the course work will be added to their learning plan.
