Major Requirements for Students Pursuing Latin Honors
Many honors students choose to fulfill honors course requirements through their liberal education requirements or taking graduate level courses
Music Therapy students must take either MuEd 8810 (Music Therapy Research) -OR- MuEd 5808 (Medical Music Therapy, a graduate level class that focuses on preparing students for a research project)
The Honors thesis does not count as the capstone for any BMus Degree. The Capstone for the Music Therapy BMus is the music therapy internship. After completing all required academic coursework, music therapy majors spend 1,040 hours (approximately six months) in the community practicing music therapy while supervised by Board Certified Music Therapists. The internship can be taken for 1-13 credits. Students who double major and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other major are still required to take the Music Therapy BMus capstone, MUED 5855: Music Therapy Internship (1.0-13.0 cr).
Students writing summa cum laude thesis must produce a scholarly paper comprising some form of original thought, and must pass an oral exam with the three members of the thesis committee.
