Program Change:
P00945
Program Title: Bachelor of Music/Musical Theatre Emphasis
Undergraduate
Describe the proposed degree program change(s) in terms of how the changes differ from the program as currently approved and published in the latest WOU catalog (specify the latest catalog date).
Add MUS 364 Ethnomusicology II (3)
Add [MUS 321 or MUS 322 Choral or American Vernacular Conducting] (3)
Reduce MUEN 101-192 from (6) to (3).
Reduce MUEN 301-392 from (6) to (3).
This small change brings the BM/MT core in line with the rest of the BM in Contemporary Music.
As we have reviewed the effectiveness of this degree over the years at our annual retreat in September, the music faculty has determined that the lack of a second term of conducting disadvantages students in this track. This disadvantage will be exacerbated with the new structure of the Conducting sequence.
Similarly, the absence of a second year of Ethnomusicology is a weakness for students who are especially in need of a broader world view.
Currently, BM/MT students have a higher number of MUEN (Music Ensemble) credits required as a result of the MUEN 153/353 (Musical Theatre: Vocal) requirement. This change balances the addition of six credits in Ethnomusicology and Conducting with a reduction of the same number of credits in MUEN.
Describe the reasons for making this change:

For Dean Review only:
How and when will the effectiveness of these changes be determined?
