Students intending to pursue a Music Theory major must have a GPA of at least 3.5 in Music Theory and Aural Skills courses below the 300 level. No Music Theory course with a grade lower than B- may be counted toward the requirements for the major. The student's work will be reviewed formally near the end of the sophomore year to determine whether or not progress toward the attainment of Junior Major Status warrants continuation in the major. Expository Writing Proficiency. Students with an SAT verbal score below 580 or an ACT score below 24, or a TOEFL score below 600 must complete one course chosen from the RHET 111-119 series. Music Theory and Aural Skills Requirement. Students are expected to register for Music Theory and Aural Skills courses each semester until they have completed the requirements.

Please note that Theory majors are required to complete Aural Skills V (MUTH 301) as part of their theory sequence. Music Theory I-IV and Aural Skills I-IV must be taken concurrently, e.g., a student will register for Music Theory I (MUTH 130 or 131) and Aural Skills I in the same semester. Under certain circumstances, with the permission of the appropriate division director and the Music Theory division director, students will be allowed to take Aural Skills IV and Music Theory IV separately. A student's aural skills requirement must be completed before the senior recital can be scheduled. Double-degree students will resolve any conflicts with these expectations in consultation with their advisors. Electives.
