* Students who place into a second-semester language course or above (e.g., ITAL 10200 Elementary Italian II) can fulfill the modern language requirement by taking two different languages. Students who do not place into a second-semester language course or who have no prior language training must take two semesters of a single modern language.
+ Students may fulfill the requirement for Fundamentals of Music Theory by scoring 84 percent or higher on a placement exam administered by the Department of Music Theory, History, and Composition. Students who score below 84 percent on the exam must take the course, and their music requirement is increased by 1 credit.
