Differences in technique and musical literatures require adjustments to the core coursework for some majors. Guitar majors learn some of the Keyboard Studies skills on the guitar. Jazz students take some Music History and some Music Theory from the core and then take Jazz History and Jazz Theory. Music Education and Recording Arts Students have different requirements as well. Most majors require classes specific to the instrument or literature. Most entering students have some combination or remedial work or advanced placement.

GENERAL STUDIES

The Conservatory As College Within a Research University

12 credits: core curriculum

Core I: Analytical Thinking and Writing Core II: Writing and Research Methods Core III: Critical Methods Core IV: Art, Culture, and Society

18 credits: Humanities electives

One elective must be at the .300 level Other choices include foreign language, literature, or

courses at Homewood.

M O R E I N F O R M A T I O N : www.peabody.jhu.edu/humanities

Most degree programs require electives. Unless otherwise specied, the term elective means class elective. Additional lessons and additional ensembles do not count as electives. However, non-Jazz majors who successfully audition for the Peabody Jazz Orchestra (PJO) or the Peabody Improvisation and Multimedia Ensemble (PIME) may petition to apply one semester (two credits) of the Jazz large ensemble as elective credit. Questions about the appropriateness of all other courses for elective credit should be directed to the Registrar.

Homewood connotes the main campus of the Johns Hopkins University. Homewood is home to the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences (KSAS) and the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE). These two schools share a common registrar, typically denoted by the acronym ASEN (Arts & Sciences and Engineering).
Classes at Peabody begin with the abbreviation PY. Classes at KSAS begin with the abbreviation AS. Classes at WSE begin with the abbreviation EN.

To take a class at Homewood, you must complete documents kept at the Peabody Registrars Oce. Note that you will take those classes as a Peabody student and subject to our rules and regulations. Note also that you would take the classes on Homewoods schedule which may be dierent.

There are two double degrees at Peabody. Students are typically admitted to BM with Recording Arts these programs before they BM with Music Education matriculate. Double degree students are held to the same standards for performance and academics as all other students. Note especially that students in these degrees are advised by the faculty of these departments.

Undergraduate students may pursue a minor course of study in:

The Business of Music Music History Music Theory Liberal Arts on Homewood campus.

All minor study is coordinated by Academic Affairs.

Students apply after successfully playing a 209 jury. The Associate Dean decides in consultation with faculty. Some credits may fulfill multiple requirements. Successful completion of a minor appears on the transcript, not the diploma.

Qualied undergraduates in composition, piano, voice, or orchestral instruments performance may apply to pursue a Bachelor of Music degree awarded jointly by Peabody and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music of the National University of Singapore.

Undergraduate students may apply for admittance to the BM/MM program in the academic year in which they are scheduled to perform their 309 jury or junior recital. Recording Arts students may apply for the BM/MA program. Transfer students may not apply.

Y E A R S

The selection process takes place at the end of the third full year of study. The admission process includes academic and performance elements as well as the recommendation of the faculty. Students selected for the program maintain their initial nancial assistance levels throughout the ve years of study.

Students must complete most of the requirements for a degree or diploma through credits earned for courses taken at Peabody as a matriculated student. However, students may transfer some credits taken at accredited post-secondary schools or through the accelerated testing of recognized providers (such as the College Board or International Baccalaureate). Like most conservatories, Peabody does not accept transfer credits for lessons, juries, or recitals.

For undergraduate students, accelerated work in high school is only accepted on the basis of an examination that is documented with scores mailed directly to the Oce of the Registrar. Superior scores of either a 4 or a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations or a 50 on the CLEP, administered by the College Board, or a 6 or 7 on the International Baccalaureate Exam may be accepted. Credits for courses taken at another accredited college or university may only be accepted on receipt of a transcript demonstrating a grade of C or better.

THEORY

The Department of Music Theory does not accept transfer credits at the undergraduate level. Advanced placement in music theory is only possible on the basis of the Advanced Placement Undergraduate Exam in Music Theory (AP-UGrad) oered during Orientation Week, which includes part-writing, analysis, and counterpoint. Samples of this examination are available from the Admissions Oce

MUSICOLOGY The Musicology Department considers transfer credits on a case-by-case basis. Undergraduates may not apply more than two courses from other institutions toward their Peabody undergraduate degrees, and they must receive at least a B in any courses transferred. Advanced Placement courses in musicology or music history cannot be counted toward the undergraduate musicology curriculum.

Advanced placement and transfer determinations in humanities are made by the Associate Dean for Academic Aairs in consultation with the Humanities Department faculty. The Humanities Department will only accept nine (6) credits of AP, IB, or CLEP work for the Humanities curriculum. However, the Associate Dean may approve additional credits as general electives. Transfer credits from an accredited college or university that fulll humanities distribution requirements are also accepted. Students should confer with the Associate Dean for Academic Aairs to review the articulation of credits from other schools and how it aects their curriculum.

To maintain an F-1 visa and to remain compliant with regulations for scholarship and dierent kinds of nancial aid, it is important to remain a full-time student. Full-time is dened as enrolled in twelve credits (12) each semester. To make satisfactory progress toward completing the degree, students should complete thirty (30) credits each year.

Acceptable Academic Standing requires: A cumulative and current grade point average of at least 2.0 A grade of at least B-in the major area (lessons, juries, recitals, hearings) Appropriate progress through the core curriculum including 30 completed credits each hear. Students who fall below one or more of the stated benchmarks will be brought to the attention of the Associate Dean and the Undergraduate Committee for warning or dismissal.

A leave of absence (LOA) is an approved interruption of a degree program that is subject to a fixed duration and/ or specific requirements for return. A withdrawal is a complete departure from the Conservatory and its degree programs. A withdrawal can only be reversed through the mechanisms of reaudition and petition of the relevant academic committee. Students who do not return from a leave of absence will be considered withdrawn from the Conservatory. Any change of status begins by contacting the Office of Academic Affairs.

Academic misconduct is the act of stealing ideas, thoughts, and words. Any act that violates the spirit of authorship or gives undue advantage Is a violation. Such acts include:
Use of unauthorized materials (e.g., notes, books) during an in-

class or take-home examination

Inappropriate use of electronic devices during an in-class or take-

home examination

Witnesses may be called and evidence presented and examined to determine the respondents culpability or innocence.
