Core Curriculum

<p>Are the classes listed under HU/FA/L on this page the only classes that satisfy that core requirement or can my DD take a beginner piano course at a community college over the summer? As long as she gets the course equivalency approved by UA, can any MUS class satisfy the core requirement? I think the answer is no but I thought I would ask.</p>

<p>oops sorry forgot the link</p>

<p>The course would need to transfer as something which UA considers to satisfy that core requirement. If the course has no UA equivalent, it will likely transfer as a 198 course, which is a designation given to lower division courses not offered by UA but which will count towards a degree (197 courses do not count towards a degree). 198 courses may or may not satisfy specific core curriculum requirements depending on the department and the requirement. </p>

<p>thanks for the info!</p>

<p>Even other music classes taken at UA do NOT satisfy the Fine Arts requirement. Only MUS121 and MUS250 satisfy the requirement, so I seriously doubt that a piano class taken elsewhere would work. </p>

<p>If you cant use a similar class taken at UA to fulfill the requirement, why would the registrar let you transfer that type of class to fulfill the requirement??</p>
