A maximum of three hours of MUPF 127 may apply to the major. Students who reach a high level of proficiency may, with music faculty approval and guidance, complete this requirement by electing courses which will strengthen their preparedness in other areas within the music field. In no case will the student take fewer than 15 quarter hours in one applied field.
