Music Program Mission Statement The Florida College Music program provides courses leading to bachelor s degrees in music and music education, as well as learning and performing opportunities for students with majors in other areas, in a context appropriate to the college s overall emphasis on spiritual, mental, physical, and social development. Accreditation Florida College is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Music and the Bachelor of Science in Music Education. Entrance Requirements for all Music or Music Education Majors Students who have been admitted to Florida College must also complete an application to be accepted into the major. The application process includes an audition/interview with the applied lesson faculty member(s) before registering for principal-level lessons. Acceptance status as a music major will be provisional until the successful completion of two semesters of applied lessons, including juries indicating readiness to proceed to the next level and recital performance(s) each semester, and the successful completion of the first two semesters of Music Theory and Aural Theory with a grade of C or better. All music students must pass a barrier jury before being permitted to register for applied music lessons at the level. Transfer students will have their transcripts evaluated by the Registrar and the Chair of the Department before being admitted to the program. Admission to the Music Education Program In order to be admitted to the Music Education program, typically by the beginning of the junior year of college and before taking upper-division music education courses, students must have a grade point average of at least.5 on a 4. scale on all general education and music courses, no grades below C on music courses, and must pass the General Knowledge Test (GKT) of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination.

2 Special Requirements The Bachelor of Arts in Music requires students to demonstrate competency in a foreign language. This requirement may be met by passing two semesters of the same language or by an approved competency examination (IB, CLEP or AP.) All music majors are required to keep a portfolio of their musical activities, which will be checked at the end of each semester and before graduation. New students will receive instructions as to what must be included. Registration for MUS Recital Attendance is required when a student registers for applied lessons. Students desiring the AA degree and wishing to meet the prerequisites for junior standing in music at another institution will need to plan carefully with the advisor.
