School of Music Bulletin 2001-2003: Undergraduate Division

University Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

The standards listed below represent the minimum levels of preparation and achievement necessary to be considered for admission. Most admitted students exceed these minimum levels. Each application is reviewed individually. When making admis sion decisions, the university is primarily concerned with the depth and challenge of the college-preparatory program, including the senior year; grade trends in the college-preparatory subjects; and the student's class rank. Students whose records fall s lightly below the minimum standards may receive serious consideration if their grades have been steadily improving in a challenging college-preparatory program. Conversely, declining grades or a program of less demanding courses are often reasons to deny admission.

High School Graduation
Applicants generally need a high school diploma from an accredited secondary school. Applicants holding a General Equivalency Diploma should submit the GED score. Credentials from homeschooling or from a non-accredited or nonpublic high school are assesse d individually.

Academic Preparation
All prospective students must complete the following basic curriculum:

8 semesters of English
Literature, grammar, and composition. (Up to two semesters from journalism and/or speech count toward the English requirement.)

6 semesters of mathematics
Algebra, geometry and advanced algebra.

2 semesters of laboratory science
Biology, chemistry, or physics.

4 semesters of social science
History, government, economics, psychology, or sociology.

Indiana Residents
Applicants who are Indiana residents should complete Core 40; an academic honors diploma is strongly encouraged. A minimum of 28 semesters of college-preparatory courses must be completed. These include the course work listed, plus 8 in some combi nation of foreign language and/or additional math, lab science, or social science.

Out-of-State Residents
Applicants who are not Indiana residents should complete a minimum of 32 semesters of college-preparatory courses. That includes the course work listed in the "Academic Preparation" section on this page, plus 12 semesters in some combination of foreign la nguage and/or additional math, lab science, or social science.

Class Rank
Indiana residents should rank at least in the upper half of their school class; nonresidents generally rank at least in the upper third.

Tests
Indiana residents should score at or above the state average on the SAT (current total 990) or ACT (composite of 21). Nonresident applicants usually score a total of 1100 or higher on the SAT or have an ACT composite score of at least 25. (N ote: If the applicant submits more than one set of scores, the highest SAT and/or ACT scores will be recorded.)

International Students
To be admitted, international students must complete above average work in their supporting programs. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A paper-based test score of 560 or a computer-based score of 223 is necessary for regular admission to a degree program. International students are required to take the Indiana University English Proficiency Examination and must register for any supplemental English courses prescri bed based on the results of this examination or, if necessary, enroll in the intensive English language program.

School of Music Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

In addition to the general requirements for admission to the university, students must meet the following requirements of the School of Music:

Students must successfully complete an audition in their major medium. Auditions are scheduled during designated weekends throughout the academic year and are heard by a committee of department faculty members appointed by the chairperson of the depar tment. This committee evaluates the student's performance level and makes a recommendation to the School of Music admissions committee. The admissions committee determines whether the student can be admitted to a specific course of study by considering th e student's past record, interviews (if applicable), and the audition committee's recommendation. Students who do not matriculate within one year of the date of the letter of acceptance must repeat the entrance audition. Audition appointments may be secur ed by writing to the Office of Music Admissions, School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405.

Each incoming freshman must take a musicianship evaluation. Students who score above 70 percent on the musicianship test are exempted from T109 Rudiments of Music I. Students who score from 50 percent to 70 percent may take T109 and T151 Music Theory and Literature I concurrently. Students who score below 50 percent may not take T151 until they pass T109. For more detailed information, write to the Office of Music Admissions, School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, and request specific information on the Basic Musicianship test and on theory texts.

Incoming freshmen who meet general university requirements and specific music requirements, and who intend to pursue a music degree, are certified directly to the School of Music after their initial orientation and advising.

University Requirements for Transfer Students

Indiana University welcomes students who wish to transfer from other colleges or universities.

University requirements for transfer admission include:

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale (2.5 required for nonresidents of Indiana);
A high school record showing satisfactory entrance units;
Evidence of good standing in the institution last attended;
Transcripts of credits and grades earned in all subjects.

Acceptance of credit from other institutions is determined by the Office of Admissions, and the applicability of credit toward degree requirements in the School of Music is determined by the director of undergraduate studies in consultation with the facul ty. Only credits earned at Indiana University will count toward a student's grade point average. Courses from other colleges and universities may transfer as credit only.

School of Music Requirements for Transfer Students

In addition to the general requirements for transfer admission to the university, students must audition in their major performing area for admission to a particular curriculum in the School of Music. (See 1 under "School of Music Requir ements for Incoming Freshmen.")

All credits in music from an institution other than Indiana University are subject to placement and evaluation in the School of Music and must be validated upon entrance by examination or audition. Examinations in music theory are given only before classe s begin. Other examinations must be scheduled individually and may be subject to special fees.

Transfer students, especially those transferring for their junior and senior years, must be aware of the possibility that not all music credits will be accepted or counted toward degree requirements in the School of Music, and that they may have to spend longer than the normally allotted time to complete their bachelor's degrees at Indiana University.

All courses taken at another institution with the grade of Pass (P) or Fail (F) are subject to Indiana University regulations concerning the Pass/Fail option. Students who wish to use such courses to meet degree requirements in the School of Music must ob tain verification of a letter grade or the equivalent from the other institution.

Returning Students

Undergraduate students who, after matriculation, do not register for classes for more than one calendar year must audition for readmission to the School of Music.

Undergraduate Visiting Students

A limited number of undergraduate-level students with interest in the study of music may be admitted as visiting students, subject to the following:

Visiting students at the undergraduate level must audition for a faculty committee, be accepted by a particular faculty member for instruction, and be approved by the Admissions Committee of the School of Music. Visiting students may be admitted for t he summer session only if they have been accepted by an individual faculty member. Undergraduate visiting students accepted during the summer session who wish to continue study during the regular academic year must audition for a faculty committee.
Undergraduate visiting students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours (4 credit hours in the summer) including major ensemble courses. All courses other than performance study, ensembles, and chamber music require approval of the director of undergraduate studies.
Undergraduate visiting students may attend a maximum of two semesters during the academic year and four summer sessions.
Undergraduate visiting students are not eligible for financial aid from the School of Music during the fall and spring semesters.
Credits earned as an undergraduate visiting student may be applied toward a degree or diploma only with the permission of the director of undergraduate studies. Undergraduate visiting students wishing to change to degree or diploma status must complet e the application process of the School of Music and Indiana University.

Nonmajors

The School of Music offers a number of music courses, performance study options, and ensembles especially designed for students majoring in fields other than music. In addition, qualified nonmajors are welcome to participate in music major academic course s, performance courses, or ensembles on a space-available basis. Under certain conditions, credit for these courses is accepted toward degree requirements in other schools and departments. At the time of registration, proper approval must be secured from the chairperson of the student's major department or the dean of the school, as well as from the director of undergraduate studies in the School of Music.

Orientation

Upon admission to Indiana University Bloomington, students begin their orientation to this campus. After receiving a letter acknowledging their admission from the director of admissions, students receive a series of orientation brochures. Prior to registe ring for classes, students have a conference with an academic advisor.

Students who plan to enter Indiana University in the fall semester may attend the summer orientation and registration program in June/July or may participate in orientation and registration in August before the beginning of classes. At these times, specia l attention is given to students' preparation for academic adjustment and achievement. The freshman orientation in August includes the Freshman Family Picnic, Freshman Induction Ceremony, the president's and vice president's receptions, and numerous acade mic activities, including advanced placement testing and sessions on learning in a large lecture, studying a foreign language, and learning study techniques. Opportunities to learn about getting involved in activities on campus, taking advantage of cultur al events, and finding the locations of offices and classrooms also are a part of orientation. Additional opportunities to interact with faculty and to participate in special workshops and skill-building sessions are scheduled throughout the year. Student s living in residence centers may participate in a variety of activities planned especially for the centers.

Advising

The School of Music provides a staff of advisors for freshmen and a general academic advisor for all undergraduate students. Preregistration conferences are held in the middle of each semester for the following semester. Students currently enrolled should have programs planned at that time to speed the registration process. Students should also consult the freshman advisor or the undergraduate advisor at other times of the year for answers to specific questions or help with individual problems. Indiana Un iversity provides a computer-based degree audit system (IUCARE) that outlines degree requirements and indicates those courses taken by the student that meet those requirements. IUCARE is available online at all times to students through the university com puting system.

Although the School of Music provides advising services, it is the student's responsibility to be acquainted with school rules and regulations and to meet the requirements for the degree as outlined in this bulletin. Any exceptions to the requirements sta ted in this bulletin must be approved in writing by the dean of the School of Music or the director of undergraduate studies, with one copy for the student and one copy for the student's file.

General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees

The candidate must complete all courses and all proficiency examinations specified in the candidate's curriculum.
The candidate must earn at least 120 credit hours, not including major ensemble (X0-) or I400.
The candidate (except B.M.E. candidates) must achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all courses, music and non-music. B.M.E. candidates must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 in all courses.

Application for Graduation

Residence

No candidate will be recommended for the bachelor's degree who has been in residence less than 36 weeks and who has earned fewer than 30 hours of credit in residence. Students carrying less than a normal load receive residence in proportion to the number of credit hours carried, at the rate of six weeks of residence for each 5 credit hours completed. At least 26 credit hours of the work of the senior year must be completed in residence on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University.

Time Limit

Work for a bachelor's degree must be completed within seven years from the time the student first registers in the School of Music. A student who fails to comply with this requirement must pass comprehensive examinations in all music subjects and meet cur rent requirements for the degree. Should degree work be interrupted because of military service, the time thus spent is not counted as part of the time limitation.

Work for the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Science in Music and an Outside Field degree can be completed in eight semesters if the student takes an average of 16 to 18 credits per semester. Work for the Bachelor of Music Education degree ca n be completed in eight semesters if the student takes at least 18-20 credit hours per semester. Students entering with deficiencies in music theory or performance or on academic probation should not expect to complete their degrees in eight semesters.

Keyboard Proficiency

All music bachelor's students (except ballet, audio, and opera scenic technique) must pass a keyboard proficiency examination or its equivalent. The proficiency examination tests ability to use the keyboard or equivalent instrument as a tool within the fr amework of individual professional activities; thus, the requirements vary in emphasis according to the area of major study. The test is given during the latter half of each semester; specific dates are available from the secondary piano coordinator. Ente ring students who are prepared to take the examination may do so during the orientation period. Bachelor of Music organ students must study piano or harpsichord for four semesters and fulfill the keyboard proficiency requirement by satisfactory completion of C404 Church Music IV. Piano degree students fulfill the keyboard proficiency requirement by satisfactory completion of E493 Piano Pedagogy. Guitar, harp, and harpsichord students must demonstrate the equivalent of the keyboard proficiency skills on th eir instrument. All other students must register for secondary piano until the keyboard proficiency requirement is met. The keyboard proficiency test is taken with the consent of the student's secondary or class piano instructor. Information regarding spe cific keyboard proficiency requirements for each major is available in the music undergraduate office.

Requirements for a Second Bachelor's Degree

The holder of a bachelor's degree who wishes to pursue a further educational goal is usually encouraged to become qualified for admission to a graduate degree program. In certain cases, however, the School of Music may admit a bachelor's degree holder to candidacy for a second bachelor's degree. When such admission is granted, the candidate must earn at least 26 additional credits in residence and meet all requirements for the second degree.

Graduation with Distinction

The School of Music recognizes outstanding academic achievement by awarding bachelor's degrees with three levels of distinction: distinction, high distinction, and highest distinction. At each graduation (May, June, August, and December), graduating senio rs in each of the three bachelor's degrees (Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music Education, and Bachelor of Science) will be selected for distinction, subject to the following conditions: In each of the three separate degree categories, those students who se grade point averages are 4.00 will receive highest distinction. In the Bachelor of Music degree, those students whose grade point averages are between 3.95 and 3.99 will receive high distinction and those students whose grade point averages are between 3.90 and 3.94 will receive distinction. In the Bachelor of Music Education degree, those students whose grade point averages are between 3.85 and 3.99 will receive high distinction and those students whose grade point averages are between 3.75 and 3.84 w ill receive distinction. In the Bachelor of Science degree, those students whose grade point averages are between 3.90 and 3.99 will receive high distinction and those students whose grade point averages are between 3.85 and 3.89 will receive distinction.

Application for Graduation

The candidate must file an Application for Graduation in the music undergraduate office at least one semester before the expected graduation date. A student who does not complete degree requirements for the graduation date for which application was made m ust file another Application for Graduation for a later date.

Bachelor of Science in Audio Recording
Associate of Science, Audio Technology

Audio Degrees

In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission to the university, the student must follow the procedures outlined below. These procedures apply to students currently enrolled on the Bloomington campus as well as to new freshmen and transfer students.

In order to assess the quality of applicants, and instead of a preadmission interview, all interested students are required to participate in the exploratory courses A101 Introduction to Audio Technology, A111 Basic Electricity, and T151 Music Theory and Literature I or, as an alternative only for those A.S. candidates who have an insufficient music background, Z101 Music for the Listener and Z111 Introduction to Music Theory. These courses are taught only in the fall semester; it is not possible to begin work in audio except at that time. A background in a mathematics equivalent to two years of high school algebra is a prerequisite for A111 Basic Electricity. Students not eligible for entry to the School of Music should make application to, and be accept ed into, the University Division of Indiana University as an exploratory student. Audio may be listed as the intended major, but this does not guarantee acceptance into a degree program past the first semester courses.

Admission to the program is determined at the end of the first semester and is based on the following factors: (1) quality of work in A101 Introduction to Audio Technology, A111 Basic Electricity, and T151 Music Theory and Literature I or, as an alternati ve only for those A.S. candidates who have an insufficient music background, Z101 Music for the Listener and Z111 Introduction to Music Theory; (2) demonstrated interest in the school's audio activities; (3) overall academic and musical record; and (4) pe rsonal interview. Only a limited number of students can be accepted into courses beyond the first semester because of limitations on studio equipment and space.

Decisions related to the selection of those students qualifying for major status are announced prior to the beginning of the spring semester. All candidates are informed by letter as to the success or failure of their application.

For further information and dates of orientation meetings, contact the Audio Department, School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405; (812) 855-1087.
