Permission to major or minor in music is granted by the Department. All music courses have been approved and are required by the National Association of Schools of Music, NCATE, and SACS. The Department of Music has held accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1971.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
In addition to general university requirements and General Studies requirements found in the 1996-97 Catalog, students seeking the B.A. in Music must meet the requirements listed below.

Admission

Entering freshmen are advised to contact the Department of Music in the spring semester of their senior year in high school in order to secure information regarding scholarship auditions and general information about the degree plan of their choice. Scholarship auditions are generally scheduled in February and March of each academic year. Transfer students from other colleges and universities are also advised to contact the Department of Music one semester prior to their anticipated date of enrollment in order to insure a smooth transition into the music curriculum at UWF. Transcripts will be evaluated by the coordinator prior to enrollment as a music major.

Departmental Requirements
In addition to the course requirements, the Department of Music requires the following of its majors:

1. Every student enrolled in applied lessons must participate in a major ensemble sponsored by the Department (i.e., band or chorus). Exceptions will be made only if students are student teaching in their senior year.
2. All majors must participate in the weekly student recital performance classes and perform as recommended by their applied professor. Majors generally perform at least once during the semester.
3. All majors must attend a minimum of 12 concerts or recitals each semester in residence. The concerts or recitals may include student recitals, symphony concerts, music hall artists series concerts, and any other program of "classical" nature approved by the faculty.
4. All students using the practice facilities must secure a building pass from the music office each semester.

Scholarships
The Department of Music offers numerous scholarships granted by the University, community organizations, and individuals.
