Academic Advising

All B.Mus. and B.A. Music Concentration students are encouraged to seek academic advice from a full-time School of Music faculty member. Advisors help to ensure that the core requirements for the program are being met, and assist with the selection of appropriate elective courses, depending on the student's strengths and goals.

First-year B.Mus. students must consult with their Academic Advisor in orientation week; students in other years are strongly advised to consult with an academic advisor in the first week of classes in the Fall term, particularly since the B.Mus. core curriculum is undergoing revisions.
