Music Performance, BMU

Anchor Plan for Bachelor of Music

The Bachelor of Music degree has a modified set of Anchor Plan requirements:

• The Arts in Practice requirement will be met with courses required for the major.
• BMU students take one Human Creative Perspectives course and one Historical Perspectives course (first course at the 100 level; second course at the 200-level). They do not need to take a Philosophical Perspectives course.
• The Mathematics and Natural Science requirement is 6-7 credits: one Mathematics course, and one Natural Science with Lab course.

Students who plan to complete both the BMU degree and a second degree (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) must complete the full BA/BS Anchor Plan requirements.
