The major in music history and literature is not a terminal degree, and students should expect to continue at the graduate level. Therefore, students should consult with the appropriate faculty advisor before entering.

Students planning to pursue this major will be placed in the "Music: Unspecified" category until the following requirements have been met: a minimum grade of C in MUS 121 and completion of MUS 103 and 153.

Students majoring in music history and literature must complete level III in the applied music concentration. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required major courses and 2.0 in other required music courses. Senior students are required to complete a senior project. The project may consist of an extensive written research paper or a scholarly lecture or lecture/recital.
