If you have taken four semesters of Music Theory and four semesters of Ear Training, the credits will transfer and you will be expected to take, in the days before classes begin in the fall, the Music Theory portion of the Upper Division Proficiency Exam. Be advised, however, that classes at various colleges and universities move at different rates and you are strongly advised to meet with the theory area coordinator to assess if you are prepare to take the exam.
This is not an entrance exam, and has no bearing on your admission. However, this exam will help to determine your eligibility for upper division classes: Form and Analysis and Orchestration. Details of this exam are included in our Student Handbook. A study outline and sample exams are provided below. This exam is scheduled for 1:00PM on the Friday before school starts.
