ELECTIVE COURSE CREDIT FOR ALL MUSIC COURSES and GUARANTEED ADMISSION OF MUSIC ED GRADUATES TO THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION


Elective Course Credit for all Music Courses and Guaranteed Admission of Music Ed Graduates to the Faculty of Education

At its meeting of May 20, 2005, Senate approved that all Music half (0.5) and full (1.0) credit courses will be accepted as elective options in all undergraduate degree programs that participate in New Academic Choices, subject to graduation requirements.

Graduates with a Bachelor of Music with Honours in Music Education

For admission to the Faculty of Education, students must complete the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Music in Music Education AND must meet all other requirements for the specific program to which they are applying. Those requirements are outlined above.

Guaranteed Admission to the Faculty of Education
Guaranteed admission to the Faculty of Education is offered for students in Vocal Music and Instrumental Music at the Junior/Intermediate (JI) level and for students in Vocal or Instrumental Music at the Intermediate/Senior (IS) level. (Students seeking admission to the Faculty of Education for the Primary/Junior level should follow the standard application process.) Guaranteed admission to the Faculty of Education requires a minimum cumulative weighted average of 75% in Music courses, a 70% average in courses applicable to the second teachable subject for those applying to the I/S program, and no mark below 60% in any course. Meeting these graduation requirements guarantees acceptance by the Faculty of Education at Western, with Music as a teachable subject in either the JI or IS program. Students who fall short of these requirements may still meet the requirements for the Bachelor of Music with Honours in Music Education and may apply to the Faculty of Education on that basis, although admission is not guaranteed.
