Catalog Description:

Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

Advising with students in this concentration revealed that a number of students were delaying completing the ensemble requirement. This work is considered foundational to the upper level work. Therefore, we need to clarify that students need to fulfill this requirement by the time of their sophomore review.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

The positive impact will be the completion of the ensemble requirement prior to upper level work. This specification does not add any additional credit hours, but merely clarifies the intent of the requirement.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

No additional costs are anticipated.

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?

No credit hours are added. This is a clarification of the need to complete the foundational work during the first four semesters of the program.
