Transfer Students: Applied Music and Ensemble Credits

Transfer students from NASM-accredited institutions may receive the equivalent of one semester hour per semester for applied music in the Bachelor of Arts curriculum or in the Bachelor of Music Education curriculum with a maximum of four semester hours being transferable. To receive transfer credit for previous course work, students must achieve and/or demonstrate the level of knowledge and skills that is consistent with course offerings and standards at Alabama State University. Students transferring from Alabama public higher education institutions may have specific approved transfer agreements with Alabama State University. Please consult with the office of admissions. Transfer students entering the Department of Music must declare their major area in one applied performance medium and participate in one large ensemble activity per semester. Students transferring course work in music areas from non-accredited music programs or schools may receive transfer credit on the basis of subject examination. A passing score on the examination will warrant transfer credit being counted toward degree requirements if approved by the Chair of the Department of Music and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
