Sophomore Qualifying Examination
At the end of the second semester of the freshman year (MUS 157) students must demonstrate vocal proficiency and musicianship appropriate to sophomore level applied voice. During the MUS 157 jury, the faculty is charged with determining if the student:
- can demonstrate vocal proficiency and growth
- has learned at a sufficient rate during the first year
- is sufficiently capable of language skills to progress on to French and German
- shows the potential to proceed through the music major program
- understand the work ethic necessary to succeed as a musician
If the student fails the sophomore qualifying examination, he/she will be required to repeat MUS 157. If the student fails the sophomore qualifying examination twice, the student may not continue as a voice major.
