Additional Information:

*Students will complete the remaining six hours of the humanities requirement, including one course in literature, at universities upon transfer.

**Students who plan to transfer to the University of Memphis should complete a course in literature rather than music appreciation.

Students must successfully complete placement requirements in music theory, ear training, and piano at the university where transfer is planned. Students must also successfully complete required university auditions as appropriate.

FALL START ONLY - Recommended Full Time Schedule

The following is a recommended schedule. Learning Support, pre-requisites and other academic factors may impact this schedule.  See your advisor to create a degree plan.

GPS (Graduation Planning System), along with the correct catalog, should be utilized by students for all of their educational planning.  Students can monitor their progress toward a degree or certificate and view missing requirements with the GPS audit, which is accessible through MyMotlow.
