ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE MUSIC FIELD OF STUDY
Available at all DCCCD Colleges
This plan is an official Field of Study Degree approved
by The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to major in Music and transfer to a four-year college/university. This curriculum applies to the Bachelor of Music degree, but also may be applied to the Bachelor of Arts or other baccalaureate-level
music degree as deemed appropriate by the awarding institution. The field of study in music included in this degree is approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. This degree plan will constitute a 66-semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university.
Transferring students who have completed the field of study curriculum must satisfy the competency and proficiency requirements of the receiving institution. Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. However, diagnostic assessment of transfer students is permissible if the receiving institution routinely conducts diagnostic assessment of native students at the same point in the program of study.
Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution
from requiring additional lower-division courses that may be necessary for specific
degree programs. Receiving institutions may require transfer students in specialized
programs (e.g., jazz studies, performance, composition, music therapy, etc.) to take
additional degree-specific lower-division courses that are not included in the field
of study curriculum.
In order to be eligible to receive this degree, a student must:
- Complete a minimum of 66 credit hours including all the required courses listed;
- Earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1301, Speech 1311, and the selected college-level mathematics course;
- Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 ("C"); and
- Meet all TASP requirements.
