Recording Arts & Production Major

First and Second Major Committee Examinations

At the end of the first and second years of study, the music and technology faculty will review the progress of each student toward completion of the major.

The faculty will consider progress in the following areas:

1. Recording arts and production classes (quantity and quality of work as well as general participation in performing and critiquing)
2. Conservatory classes (music theory, aural skills, and musicology)
3. College classes (liberal arts electives)
4. Creative projects outside of class (performances, collaborations with dance or theater, etc.)
5. Overall progress

The faculty determines whether the student is performing at a better than satisfactory level, a satisfactory level, or a less than satisfactory level. If the division determines that a student is not making appropriate progress within the major, the student may be refused continuance in the program. It may also be recommended that the student redefine their relationship to the program and seek an individual major or a more liberal arts-based Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major .
