GE Area C Upper Division (UD-C) Arts Requirement in Ensembles
To earn GE:
- Do NOT sign up for MUS 3xx. Instead, register for the odd-numbered section of MUS 400 (400-01, 400-03, etc.) which corresponds to your ensemble. You will be automatically enrolled in the correct even-numbered section as well.
- If students are enrolled in more than one ensemble in a given semester, they may enroll in only one MUS 400.
- Students who pass MUS 400 may not repeat it. If they want to continue ensembles in future semesters, they should use the MUS 3xx number.
