Academic Map Music-Associate of Arts Field of Study-Instrumental Majors (CIP 50.0901)

This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who seek an Associate of Arts with a Field of Study (FOS) in Music and transfer to a four-year institution. 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 60 semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university.

By completing the Music FOS and the recommended portion of the core curriculum for a total of 60 semester credit hours, students will earn the specialized Music Associate of Arts degree. Also, it is recommended that students complete the entire 42 semester credit hour core curriculum prior to transfer to another Texas public institution of higher education since that block of courses must be submitted for the receiving institution’s core curriculum.

Please contact the Department Head for the Visual and Performing Arts Department with any questions and to plan each semester’s schedule.
