Other Requirements for the B.A. Degree

Before students can be accepted into the B.A. degree, they must demonstrate, through audition, a repertory and technical proficiency sufficient to reasonably expect degree completion.

All students are expected to enroll in the appropriate Piano/Keyboard sequence during the first four semesters of study. A grade of “C” or better in each course demonstrates proficiency at that level. Students capable of playing the piano at an intermediate or higher level may take a Piano Placement Examination prior to their first enrollment to determine their eligibility to enroll in an appropriate level of Applied Piano as an alternative to the required Piano/Keyboard sequence.

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. Students enrolled in Junior Recital (MPER 3811) 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 level recitals.

Minimum Grade Requirements

Average in all college course work and course work at UCO: 2.00
A grade of C 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.

Electives

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

Transfer Policies

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. The Academic Advisors along with the information in the official catalogs at both institutions are critical to the understanding of the specifics of degree completion.

Disclaimer

The provisions of this transfer agreement do not constitute a contract, expressed or implied, between any applicant or student and the University of Central Oklahoma. The university reserves the right to make changes in degree requirements, degree offerings, schedules, course offerings, and other university standards to meet circumstances which may arise after publishing this information online.
