Special Requirements
Completion of the MAPP and all special requirements satisfies the requirements for MCCCD Associate in Arts degree and AGEC-A, meets major map requirements at ASU, and with a successful audition guarantees admission to the Theory & Composition (Theory) degree program.

Acceptance into the School of Music is contingent upon a successful audition the semester before transferring to ASU. Please refer to the following website for an application and audition deadlines: http://music.asu.edu/admissions

Students wishing to pursue a Bachelor of Music Degree including the BM Theory & Composition in Theory should meet with a Herberger Advisor to discuss audition preparation by their third term of study at the community college. The Bachelor of Music degree requires successful completion of an audition demonstrating a high level of musicianship and may require more than 2 years of study at ASU.
