Those students who choose a keyboard or guitar concentration must take the secondary voice/instrument appropriate to the intended teaching area and qualify for participation in the appropriate music laboratory (see section on "Graduation Requirements").
This program is designed to prepare students for entry into the music teaching profession and related career areas.

Those students who choose a keyboard or guitar concentration must take the secondary voice/instrument appropriate to the intended teaching area and qualify for participation in the appropriate music laboratory (see subsequent section, "Graduation Requirements").
When the student has completed the 12-semester-hour requirement in the applied concentration, the Applied Music Examining Committee in the student's area of concentration decides if any additional hours are required.
Students apply formally after completing 60 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of 2.75, including the following courses: MUTH 1380-1390, 1480-1490, 2380-2390 and 2480-2490; MUMH 1600 and MUAC 1500 level; 12 hours of English; PSCI 1040-1050; HIST 2610-2620; 3 hours of computer science; 3 hours of mathematics; and 6-8 hours of laboratory science (may include PHYS 1250).
