^_Comments ^_In order to ensure that music students are sufficiently prepared for the Music Theory sequence required in all music degrees (education, performance, and therapy), MUSC 1105: Fundamentals for Music Majors (BCA) for Music Majors was established as a prerequisite for MUSC 1110: Music Theory I (BCA) . All incoming music students will have an opportunity to try to test out of MUSC 1105 . Because this test is administered in part through Canvas, all incoming pre-program music majors should register for MUSC 1105 regardless of whether they expect to remain in the class. Those who do not pass the test must pass MUSC must pass a C- or better before taking MUSC 1110 . As this course is considered remedial work, the 3 credits earned in MUSC 1105 do not count towards the 120 credits required for any music major. Those students who pass the test will resume the Music Theory sequence with MUSC 1110 the following spring semester. ^*MUSC 2180 Computer Applications in Music Proficiency Exam consists of a series of three proficiency exams that all music majors must complete prior to completion of four semesters of study.			^_Comments
