Music Degree Changes
Announced by Mafhis
Dr. W. S. Mathis head of the
Hardin - Simmons University
School of Music has announced
several changes in the Bachelor of
Arts in Applied Music degree
which will delete several semester
hours from the requirements.
The change is being made in an
attempt to make the applied
music degree one of liberal back-
ground and broad cultural study
instead of a program of intensive
specialized study.
The major will now require 30
hours consisting of two years of
theory two years of music litera-"
ture one year of music history
and one year of applied music.
The minor in applied music will
be the same with the exception
of six hours of applied music
study. This will give a 24-hour
minor.
The plan will make it pos-
sible for students who desire a
I liberal program of study in music
tp take a major jn the field Dr.
Mathis said.
