Admissions Requirements Students seeking ad-mission to the music management program must meet all the neces-sary requirements for any student entering a bachelor of music program in the music department. In addition, a student must choose between the classical or jazz performance tracks, should have an audition rating of B or better, and be in the top one-third of his/her graduating class. Once accepted, the student is provisionally enrolled in the music management program. At the end of the sophomore year or, in the case of a transfer student, when a student completes MUS 125 (Survey of the Music and Entertainment Industry) and one additional three credit music management course, a review of the student's academic record will be made by the faculty of the program. A student who has earned a 3.0 GPA in the two music management courses and an overall 2.5 GPA will be permitted to continue in the music management sequence. If either of those requirements is not met, the faculty may recommend that the student not be admitted to additional music management courses or may be permitted to enroll in one additional three-credit music management course to determine acceptability. The 2.5 cumulative GPA with a 3.0 GPA in ALL music courses should be main-tained throughout the program. Once in the program, a student will choose to concentrate in either the manage-ment or production area of the industry. Course work will be chosen to help pursue the desired direction.
