1) LD transfer music majors will need all CSUSB music theory courses except MUS 100 and 101, will need all three piano courses (MUS 220, 221, and 222), and will place into 100-level applied lessons. For more information regarding placement tests in those subjects, contact musicadmissions@csusb.edu.

2) All transfer music majors, regardless of coursework completed at other institutions, are required to complete at least 6 units in authorized major ensembles (MUS 380, 381, 385, and 386) and earn 3 quarters of credit in MUS 998 Concert Attendance. They must also enroll in a major ensemble in any quarter they are full-time students (enrolled in 12 or more units).

3) LD transfer students selecting a Performance/Composition, Music Technology, or Music Theater emphasis normally must spend four years at CSUSB. Only by placing immediately into 200-level applied lessons or completing each level of applied lessons in less than three quarters can a LD transfer complete one of those emphases in less than four years. LD transfers staying for four years are encouraged to complete an additional music degree emphasis or a minor in another field of study.
