Other Brigham Young University Majors

Only School of Music students may enroll for the "core" curriculum in music. "Pre-Music" majors and other students can take those courses only after official acceptance into the School of Music. The single exception to this rule applies to Humanities majors with an emphasis in music. These students may enroll in core music courses (such as MUS 193, 195, and 197) on a space available basis (very limited) through the use of an "add card." These are available in the Humanities Advisement Center approximately one week after classes begin. To qualify for enrollment, Humanities students must first pass the Aural Skills Diagnostic Exam with a score of 30.
