Degree Requirements

Degree Program Admission Requirements

Admission to the Music Department is by audition only. Students applying for admission into the Music Department at Indiana University Southeast to pursue a B.A. in Music degree – as well as those applying for a music scholarship – must attend one of the Music Department’s Audition Days.  Students can audition in any one of our tracks from our five major concentrations: Music Industry, Composition, Vocal/Instrumental Performance, Music Education, and Pre-Music Therapy.   Audition dates and specific information relating to auditioning for certain tracks are posted on the music department’s website at: https://www.ius.edu/music/ 

General Education and BA Distribution Requirements

See “General Requirements for Undergraduate Degrees at IU Southeast” and “General Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree.”

Note: Pre-Music Therapy students are required to take ANAT-A215 Basic Human Anatomy (5 cr.) as part of the General Education Science requirement.

All music majors are required to take courses that engage the student in the general study of music through music literature, theory, technology, and performance.  The following courses serve as a foundation to this study and are meant to complement specific courses in one’s concentration.  A more specific description of these requirements is located online at: https://www.ius.edu/music/

Pre-Music Therapy Concentration

The Pre-Music Therapy concentration is designed for the music student who wishes to continue into a graduate program in Music Therapy in order to work in an allied health field which uses music with therapeutic relationships to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals.  This concentration does not lead to licensing in Music Therapy but is preparation for further study in the field.   A more specific description of these requirements is located online at: https://www.ius.edu/music/

Note: For best preparation for graduate study and work in the profession, this concentration should be taken with the psychology minor in Pre-Expressive Therapy (18 credit hours).  For specific requirements, please review the requirements for the psychology minor in this bulletin.
