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. In Music Performance there are subsets in Sacred Music, which prepares students for a career in religious music or further studies at the graduate level in Sacred Music; and Jazz Performance, which prepares students for careers in Jazz or Commercial venues. Permission to major in music is granted by the Department of Music. All music courses have been approved as 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.

An Interdisciplinary Arts program is available for students who want to pursue a broad background in the fine and performing arts. The program is primarily offered on the OWCC Niceville campus, but may also be completed at the UWF Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach campuses. Further information is available in the Humanities Interdisciplinary section of this catalog.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
 In addition to general University requirements, students seeking the B.A. in Music must meet the requirements listed below.

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.

Requirements for teacher education programs may change due to legislative mandates. Therefore, the actual program requirements may differ from those listed in the catalog. Candidates must inquire with the Chair of the Division of Teacher Education or with Teacher Education Student Services to obtain the most current program requirements.

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 during 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 January, February, and March of each academic year.

Transfer students from other colleges and universities are 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.
