Programs of Study
delete second and third paragraph, beginning "Undergraduates in these programs"
End of first paragraph, read:
"The School of Music is a founding member of the National Association
of Schools of Music, which fully accredits all of its degree programs.
The curriculum allows flexibility for students while providing an education basic to all musicians. Undergraduates in all areas are accepted to the School of Music directly into a program of specialization that begins in the freshman year. The core studies, taken by all students, require the acquisition of minimum competencies and provide fundamental and essential experiences that complement the specialized studies in the declared major. Students are also required to complete studies in a number of allied subjects throughout the university, and are given significant opportunities to explore other interests with free electives."
page 187
omit first paragraph. Substitute the following:
"Candidates for the degree of bachelor of music in performance, composition, theory, music history, music technology, or an ad hoc area must complete 49.5 course units. A bachelor of music with specialization in music education may require as many as 52 units but also can be completed within four years.
All freshmen students in the School of Music must participate in band, choir or orchestra, as appropriate to their principal auditioned instrument. Freshmen and sophomores may not participate in more than two ensembles. All students in the Department of Music Performance Studies must enroll in 510-C89 Convocation for at least four quarters. For specific requirements, see the Degree Requirements chart and the professional studies requirements of each program.
For the last 24 units, all students must be registered at Northwestern, and for the last 12 units students must be registered in the School of Music. Credit toward graduation generally is not granted for summer work taken during the last 24 units in other colleges or universities."
