NOTES: *Ensembles do not count toward overload Two of the available six-unit elective spaces need to be Musicology 400-level courses, which require the completion of the MUCO 201-202 sequence. One six-unit elective space needs to be Conducting Principles, which can be taken any term: |

Offered MWF 12:30-1:40 |
Every voice major needs to complete 60 units in classes from the College (i.e. not with MU** as the course prefix).
W, D, and G requirements will need to be completed, and are often found in upper-level musicology courses. Note that the voice performance degree’s requirement of two terms of two languages can satisfy the G requirement, but will not satisfy the G requirement for students who double-major in Choral Music Education and Vocal Performance (who will need an explicitly nonwestern class, e.g. a MUCO 400s course in ethnomusicological perspectives).
Ensembles, such as choir or opera, do not count toward overload, are typically 1 unit, may be repeated, and are not registered for in advance.
