USF 2001-2002 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 184 - 187
The College encourages students to complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements. Please be aware of the immunization, foreign language, and continuous enrollment policies of the university. This is a non-limited access program with the above courses recommended.
A music theory placement examination will be administered prior to initial registration in the music theory course sequence. This examination is diagnostic and is used for advising purposes. Auditions for admission, level-ranking, and determination of USF credit hour requirements in applied study in the music performance program must be arranged through the School of Music. Secondary piano must be demonstrated by audition or the student may elect to enroll in the appropriate keyboard skills class(es). Credit hours in piano are not required. Other secondary instruments will not apply toward performance or composition programs but may be applicable toward the Music Education degree (see Music Education program).
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the university. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade. If students are coming to the university from a community college, the following prerequisite courses will be accepted as meeting lower level requirements.
