Music Course Rotation

Updated 09/25/2008

Undergraduate Course Information

Many music courses are offered every semester or, at least, once a year.  However, there are several courses that are offered only once every other year.  It is up to you to plan ahead and make sure you will get all the courses you need to graduate.  The best advice is to take these courses as soon as they are offered rather than waiting until "the next time."  This list can help you plan ahead, but it is not a guarantee.

Graduate Course Information

Graduate courses are offered via a faculty-approved rotation. All efforts are made to ensure that courses are offered to help you complete your degree.
