Proposed changes to Degree Programs in the Undergraduate
Catalog
Explain change(s) to degree program:
For students majoring in jazz performance, the School of Music proposes
to change the freshman requirement for students with drum set as their
principal instrument from 8 semester hours of DRS 412 to 8 semester
hours of PER 412.
Also, remove Introduction to Electronic Media (329E) from required courses
and add Introduction to Recording Techniques (316M).
Indicate pages and chapter in the Undergraduate Catalog where
changes will be made.
p. 226, College of Fine Arts
Detailed Rationale for change(s):
The first two semesters of PER 412 will accurately reflects the nature of
the first-year classical study and is original intention of the faculty.
The faculty feels that the recording technology course is more appropriate to
the educational objectives of jazz studies majors. At the time the jazz studies
degree was created, the 316M course was not developed.

Does this proposal impact other colleges/schools? (Please answer yes or no.)
No
If yes, then how?
Has the other college(s)/school(s) affected agreed to the proposed changed?
