THE DOROTHY F. SCHMIDT COLLEGE OF ARTS & LETTERS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC 777 Glades Road Boca Raton, FL 33431 tel: 561.297.3820 fax: 561.297.2944 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: DATE: Graduate Programs Committee Heather Coltman, Chair New Course Proposals January 24, 2008 We are requesting that two new applied graduate conducting courses be approved. These conducting courses are applied lessons for MA and Ph.D students. We need a 6000 number on the MA course and a 7000 on the PhD course so that PhD students are not as limited in how many credits of conducting they can take. We are also requesting that MUC 6251 (Applied Composition) be changed from 3 credits to 2 credits. This change is needed to make the applied composition credits consistent with our other graduate applied courses. Thank you for your consideration of these requests.
