For students attending classes at Central Arizona College and preparing to transfer to The University of Arizona, the following course work is recommended. Entrance examinations in musicianship and the major performance area are required. All transfer music majors (except piano and organ performance majors) must audition for placement in class or group piano instruction. A maximum of 72 units of community college credit may be applied to a bachelor’s degree program at The University of Arizona. Refer to The University of Arizona On-line Catalog or contact the assistant director of the School of Music (621-1454) for additional information.
Students entering any of the degree programs in music must, at the very minimum, have instrumental or vocal performance skills at the MUSI181 level.
