4. Justification (based on accreditation and/or assessment by the graduate faculty) for new course
or course revision or course renumbering:
On the basis of curricular evaluation following our recent re-accreditation report and review of
expected learning outcomes proposed by the National Association of Schools of Music, the
Graduate Faculty of the Department of Theory, Composition, and Musicology are compelled to raise
the semester credit hours in the current 5000-level advanced history seminars from 2 to 3. Subject
matter and format necessitate this change. Given current policy regarding 5000-level courses, these
changes will require creation of parallel 4000- and 6000-level versions of the same course for
undergraduates and graduate students respectively.
5. Course description exactly as it should appear in the next catalog:
6106. Music of the Baroque Era (3) Formerly MUSC 5406
Detailed consideration of analytical and historiographic issues in a variety of representative musical
genres from ca. 1600-1750.
6. If this is a course revision, briefly describe the requested change:
6000 level version of current 5000 level course; increase in semester hours from 2 to 3; updated
course description reflecting current practice and content
