Roadmap Notes

It is entirely possible that students will have taken additional courses that can be petitioned to satisfy some elective or required courses.

The prospective student is advised to complete two semesters of class piano, a World Music course that will transfer as MU 1030 and an Introductory Music Technology course that will transfer as MU 1080 in order to provide for a lighter load over the two years.

Any 3 units of GE Area B1: Physical Sciences (3) is an acceptable substitution for PHY 1050 The Physics of Musical Sound if the equivalent course of PHY 1050 was not taken at the previous institution and PHY 1050 could not be taken within 60 units at CPP.

Any 1 unit of GE Area B3: Laboratory Activity (1) is an acceptable substitution for PHY 1050L Physics of Musical Sound Laboratory if the equivalent course of PHY 1050L was not taken at the previous institution and PHY 1050L could not be taken within 60 units at CPP.
