The Upper Level Competency Review helps music majors select and pursue the most suitable career. A major-area committee (music education, sound recording technology, performance, jazz studies, 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.
