Administered by: Department of Music
Effective: Fall, 2003
In addition to general education requirements, and 40 credits of requirements of the major, sufficient elective courses are selected by the student to reach the university's 120-credit requirement for a bachelor of arts degree.
Assessment Criteria and Procedures - Through their work in two music history seminars, students will select a research topic. They will prepare a written paper, as well as a presentation, which will be delivered on presentation day to department faculty and students. The professor and audience will provide feedback and ask for clarification of issues, which are not fully illuminated in the lecture or paper. The written paper will be judged for its suitability for publication in scholarly journals, which publish undergraduate student research in music history and literature.
