(WE) means a Writing Enhanced course. Any four courses with the WE designation are required for graduation. FSEM and JSEM are automatically WE designated. Students may select Gen Ed courses with or without the WE designation as long as four are taken at some point before graduation. More than four WE courses are suggested in this document, but more than four are not required. 

*

Choose any 1-unit MUSC 300-level or higher course not yet taken, or any 1-unit MUSC course with an “A” designation not yet taken.

Many students receive music scholarship funds and may be required to perform in ensembles during the senior year even though the curricular requirement does not indicate it. Scholarship requirements may be in addition to curricular requirements in any given semester, including the senior year.
