Recorded Music Fall 2013 Course Schedule

All courses are open to Recorded Music majors only, unless indicated otherwise below.


Pending space availability, after Recorded Music majors have registered, select classes may be filled with interested non-majors at the discretion of the department and on a first-come, first-served basis beginning TWO weeks after the registration period begins each semester. Click on the link to the right to request a non-major space on the wait list.


Note: due to the increasing size of our incoming classes, we can no longer accommodate non-majors in any of our core required courses, as there are only enough seats for our majors who are required to take them. Please only request courses clearly identified as "open to non-majors."


The following course information is subject to change.
