Music Therapy Emphasis Area Prerequisites
RetentionIn order to continue in the B.A. in music therapy degree program, a minimum 3.0 cumulative average in Conservatory 128, 180 and 130 is required by the end of the student's first year as a music therapy major. A student who fails to do so is considered to be on probation, and must retake the class or classes that caused the GPA to be under 3.0. The grade from the second taking of a class will supersede the grade for the first taking of a class when figuring the 3.0 minimum requirement.
