Those deficient in theory are required to take MUS 120 Music Fundamentals for music majors before proceeding with first-year theory. Students with a keyboard deficiency must enroll in piano class or take private lessons until the piano proficiency exam is passed. The piano proficiency examination is modified for the minor. Placement auditions are held for all performance areas. Music minors must maintain a 2.5 grade-point average in all upper-division music classes.
