 Return to: Academic Programs
Program Code: F.MSF.AA.TR2
Graduation requirement: 60 credit hours
Students preparing to transfer to a four-year college or university in a music-related discipline will find that the A.A. degree curriculum prepares them to complete a bachelor’s degree in a music-related field such as Music Technology, Music Performance, or Music Education.
Transfer admission is competitive and completion of this program alone does not guarantee admission either to the baccalaureate program or to upper-division music or music technology courses. Students should plan their transfer program with a music faculty advisor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend.
