3.11.01 Q: How can I chose an elective in music outside of jazz studies?

The required six hours of elective credit need to be 5000-level courses, in music, but not a MUJS course and not a jazz studies lab or ensemble.

Options include:

  • MUCE - Music Careers and Entrepreneurship courses
  • MUET - Ethnomusicology courses
  • MUET 5030 - Music Cultures of the World
  • MUET 5050 - Music of Africa
  • MUET 5060 - African American Music
  • MUET 5617 - African Music and Movement
  • World music ensembles would also count if taken at the 5000-level.
  • MUMH - Music History courses
    • There are period courses like MUMH - 5343 Western Music History, 1900 to the Present, and MUMH 5440 - Music in the United States, that are relevant to a jazz major's interests. A

Also possible:

  • MUCP - Composition courses
  • MUTH - Music Theory courses
  • MUED - Music Education courses
    • Recommended: MUED 6580 - College Teaching of Music Courses (Master's students can take this 6000-level course)
  • Applied study outside of jazz
