Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 56:                   Change prerequisites/corequisites for MUSC 364 and 365

Effective Date: Fall 2008

1.  Delete:         On page 211, in the course description for MUSC 364:

Prerequisites: MUSC 192 (or equivalent), 201, 231; corequisite: MUSC 202. Spring.
     
Add :          On page 211, in place of deleted entry:

Prerequisites: MUSC 192 (or demonstrated competency through audition), 201, 231. Odd years Spring.

Impact: 
These changes will have no impact on financial, physical plant, student requirements, or faculty resources.

Rationale:  
The corequisite of MUSC 202, Aural Skills I is pedagogically unnecessary. It makes more sense to list it as a prerequisite for 365. Additionally, the rescheduling of MUSC 364 to every other year makes 202 as a corequisite impractical for students’ scheduling of music courses. Rescheduling to every other year is needed to increase the enrollment to acceptable levels.

2.  Delete: On page 211, in the course description for MUSC 365:

Prerequisites: MUSC 202, 364; corequisite: MUSC 301. Fall.

        
Add:           On page 211, in place of deleted entry:

Prerequisites: MUSC 202, 232, 291, 364. Odd years Fall.

Impact:
These changes will have no impact on financial, physical plant, student requirements, or faculty resources.

Rationale: 
The corequisite of MUSC 301, Aural Skills I is pedagogically unnecessary. Additionally, the rescheduling of MUCS 365 to every other year makes 301 as a corequisite impractical for students’ scheduling of music courses. Rescheduling to every other year is needed to increase the enrollment to acceptable levels. The addition of 291 is necessary to insure that students have the appropriate skill level on their instrument prior to enrolling in 365. MUSC 232 is simply the corequisite of 202, so this is an editorial addition.
