Additional Requirements

  • 40 credits of General Education Courses (GE) required. General Education Courses meet the learning outcomes as determined by the Conservatory in consultation with our accreditors and include ALL courses in Liberal Arts, Modern Languages, Music History, and other courses as specifically identified as "General Education (GE) Eligible" in the course catalog or the semesterly course schedules. The number of General Education elective credits as set for each major ensures that all students will meet this 40 credit threshold, with GE credits being earned through the fulfillment of requirements in specific areas (i.e. LARTS & MHST), and additional electives that are designated as "General Education (GE) Eligible."
