Other Requirements for the B.M. Degree

Before students can be accepted into the B.M. Degree, they must demonstrate, through audition, a repertory and technical proficiency sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable expectation for completion of the degree.

All students must enroll in Class Piano (MPER 2731, 2831, 2931, 2941) the first four semesters of study. The grade of C in each course demonstrates proficiency at that level.

Students possessing proficiency equal to successful completion of Class Piano IV (MPER 2941) may take a Piano Placement Examination to determine their eligibility to enroll in an appropriate level of Applied Piano (MPER 1000, 2000, 3020, 4000) as an alternative to Class Piano. A minimum of four semester credits in piano is still required.

Students in applied music progress according to stated repertoire commensurate with the level of study and as demonstrated in a juried performance. Access to upper division 3000 and 4000 level study and to the junior level recital is authorized by the division faculty upon completion of a juried performance at the preceding level with a grade of B or higher. Continuation in the Bachelor of Music in performance program is granted at the end of the second semester of 2000 level study with a jury grade of B or higher. Any request for admission to the program coming later in the student’s career will be by special audition.

Performance majors must complete at least 16 hours of applied study at least 8 of which must be upper division with at least 4 of those at the 4000 level.

Students enrolled in Junior Recital (MPER 3811) or Senior Recital (MPER 4812) must pass a pre-recital jury at least two weeks prior to the recital. Each performance area will determine what literature is appropriate for junior or senior level recitals.

Minimum Grade Requirements

Average in all college course work and course work at UCO: 2.75
A grade of “B” or better must be earned in all major applied courses.
A grade of “C” or better must be earned in all other courses in the major to count toward meeting degree requirements, except for applied major courses.

Electives

All UCO degrees require a minimum of 124 credit hours. Electives may be needed to bring total credit hours to 124.

Transfer policies are available in the Introduction for Program-to-Program Agreements. This agreement does not include all possible variations for transfer with these programs/majors.
