School of Music Undergraduate Handbook

The Undergraduate Handbook for music majors and minors is intended to be a guide to the undergraduate programs, curricula, policies, and procedures of the School of Music at the University of Tennessee.  Please note that this handbook does not list all of the policies and procedures of the University of Tennessee and should be used jointly with other University publications. 

The School of Music is one of thirty-two departments and eleven special programs housed in the College of Arts and Sciences. Accordingly, students pursuing degrees in music are governed by policies and procedures that affect the entire College.

The Undergraduate Handbook contains the most recent version of the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Music degree, the Bachelor of Arts degree, and the Music Minor. When there are discrepancies with the curriculum outlines in the annual editions of The Undergraduate Catalog, University of Tennessee students should check with their advisor for the appropriate version.

Returning students should use this Handbook for access to current policies and procedures, but may need to refer to the earlier editions, or area curriculum sheets, for guidance in curricula.  Advisors will be able to help in this regard.
 
Students are advised to keep The Undergraduate Handbook at hand throughout matriculation and to consult it frequently to be adequately informed as to School policies and procedures.

Students are reminded that they, not the advisor, bear the ultimate responsibility for selecting courses, meeting course prerequisites, and adhering to university policies and procedures.
