MUS 440 3 - Senior Music Seminar

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 2
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This seminar offers music majors the opportunity to examine interrelations and implications of their studies, to gain skills to enable them to be successful professionals, and will provide a hands-on example of how they might give back to the community. An action research project on a topic of interest within students’ musical sub-disciplines will be the focus of the course. Students are encouraged to coordinate their internship/current work experiences with this course to enable direct application to the communities they serve, but community-based student-designed group projects are also possible. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: understanding for-profit and not-for-profit arts organizations, ethics, unions, copyright law, contracts, grant writing, and connections between arts organizations and frequently underserved populations.

Prerequisite(s): COR 2, junior standing, and consent of instructor.
