The two-year program listed below is designed for direct transfer to four-year colleges/universities, but completion of it does not result in an associate degree. Students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree in music may transfer to any four-year institution. These institutions will have varying General Education requirements, so it is important that students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC should consult with the institution they will be attending and/or the MHCC Academic Advising and Transfer Center and/or the advisers listed above.

1 Four years of large Ensemble courses (MUP101/201; MUP121/221; MUP146/246) are required by most baccalaureate programs.
2 Most baccalaureate programs require four years of Applied Individual Lessons. An approved instructor list is available in Performing Arts.
3 First year Music Theory and Sight Singing/Ear Training requires concurrent enrollment in Group Piano. Students who wish to strengthen their music background may also want to register for MUS101, Music Fundamentals.
4 One year of Group Piano (or proficiency) is required prior to taking Keyboard Harmony classes in the second year.
5 Fewer General Education classes are required for the Bachelor of Music (B.MUS or BM) degree than for other baccalaureate degrees. Students should consult an adviser to determine which General Education courses are required for transfer to their selected school.
6 Second year Music Theory requires concurrent enrollment in Keyboard Harmony or Advanced Sight Singing/Ear Training.
7 Two years of Music History are required for a baccalaureate degree. The second year of Music History is taken at the junior level.
