The Upper Level Competency Review occurs to ensure that music majors select and pursue the most suitable degree based on their abilities to ensure success in their chosen career path. A major-area committee (Music Studies, Sound Recording Technology, Classical Performance, Jazz Performance, or BA) will evaluate the student’s total performance and academic (music and core courses) records. The committee will then recommend  whether or not the student may advance to junior level standing in the major area.
