New option for fine arts general education requirement
A new option has just been approved that will allow current and entering students to meet part of the general education humanities requirement.
In place of a fine arts course, a student may satisfy the fine arts general education requirement through participation in a music ensemble. To meet the requirement, a student must earn at least 3 credits total across six different semesters (i.e. students participating in more than one ensemble cannot “double count†one semester as two for the purposes of this requirement).
A student may participate in different ensembles in different semesters. During or shortly after completion of the sixth semester, the student must arrange with the Music Department office to complete a milestone assignment in order to finish the requirement. Eligible ensembles are: Men’s or Women’s Chorale, Concert Choir, Symphonic Band, and Chehalem Symphony Orchestra. Please note that due to NASM accreditation rules, music majors are not eligible for this general education substitution.
Any current student (except those graduating this May) able to complete six semesters of ensemble participation before graduation can take advantage of this new option.
