Music Theory Placement

A Music Theory placement examination is given during Orientation each fall. All Music students will begin their Music Theory and Musicianship study in one of three ways: by taking MUSC 101 (no prior experience with music fundamentals), MUSC 150 (some experience with music fundamentals, and intent to continue with the Music Theory sequence), or MUSC 151 (an AP Music Theory score of 4 or 5 or significant prior work in Music Theory).
