The undergraduate curriculum of the Department of Music is designed to equip graduates for careers in the field of music. Students may choose one of three Specializations: Music Education, which prepares students to teach music in public and private schools through certification in the teacher education program under the College of Professional Studies; Music Performance, which prepares the student for further studies at the graduate level in preparation for a career in concert performance, and Music Performance/Sacred Music which prepares students for a career in church music or further studies at the graduate level in sacred music. Permission to major or minor in music is granted by the Department. All music courses have been approved by the National Association of Schools of Music. The Department of Music has held accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1971.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Candidates for admission to UWF's NCATE/DOE approved teacher education programs must meet admission requirements detailed under Admission to Teacher Education. In addition to the program requirements noted below, teacher education students must also complete requirements specified under Teacher Education.

ADMISSION
To be admitted as a music major, students must audition for the faculty at least one semester prior to enrollment as a music major. 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.
  5. A minimum grade of "C-" in all major courses.
