The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Admission to this program of study requires a successful audition on an appropriate instrument or voice. To be formally accepted into the BA-Commercial Music major students must meet additional requirements, including submission of an essay (mission statement, musical philosophy, career goals), lead sheets for 2 original songs, recordings of those 2 songs, and recommendation of the Coordinator of the Commercial Music Program.

SIP = Scholarship in Practice, OCCR = Oral Communication Competency (speech), EHE = Exploring the Human Experience
