德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校

The University of Texas at Arlington is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

The Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Music degree (1) in preparation for E.C -12 teacher certification; (2) in Performance (woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard, strings, or voice); (3) in Theory; (4) in Composition; (5) in Jazz Studies; (6) in Music/Business; and (7) in Audio Production and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Industry Studies. Music students must meet all the requirements of one of these specializations to receive the Bachelor of Music degree. All degree plans leading to a Bachelor of Music degree include offerings which provide a solid foundation in music theory, history, and literature and require a concentration in a specific instrument/voice. The music department also offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music Industry Studies that requires the student to meet all of the requirements for that specialization.

The mission of the UT Arlington Department of Music is to create an environment in which individuals are inspired to become innovative and creative musical leaders by offering integrated curricular content, skill development, and exceptional programming relevant to a culturally diverse urban community.

The Music Department's goals and objectives for academic and artistic enrichment of the university and the extended community include: (1) offering curricula leading to a baccalaureate degree and graduate programs that provide students with the opportunity to realize their inherent musical potential, (2) offering degree options that recognize and nurture students’ abilities and talents to make contributions of excellence in the fields of music, and (3) preparing students for further graduate study and/or professional careers in music by meeting curricula criteria, performance standards, and academic expectations.

All prospective music majors must audition for proper placement in their respective performance areas and take a music theory placement test. Information concerning auditions and placement tests is available in the Music Office.

All Bachelor of Music majors are required to pass the sophomore proficiency exam on their major instrument. For transfer students who transfer in at least four semesters of lessons, the audition serves as the proficiency exam. Students can only attempt the proficiency exam two times. If they fail the sophomore proficiency exam the first time, they will be required to enroll in MUSI 2222 the following semester. At the end of MUSI 2222, students will be required to attempt the proficiency exam for a last time. If students do not successfully pass the proficiency exam, they will not be allowed to remain a Bachelor of Music major.
