This month's Question of Month is...

I am going into my junior year and I still have to complete the Aesthetics General Education Requirement. I have taken several Music Performance (MUSP) courses worth 2 credits each. I have heard from my friends that I can combine these credits to finish the Aesthetics requirement. Is this true, and if so, what steps do I need to take to get it to count?

Sincerely,
Anticipating Aesthetics

Dear Anticipating,

Under some circumstances, students may use 4 credits worth of MUSP courses to fulfill the Gen Ed Aesthetics requirement. If you have completed 4 credits of music performance classes taken for a letter grade only (no pass/fail), please complete the General Education appeals form online at http://gened.binghamton.edu/appeals.html. Your petition will be approved if you provide the following information:

-A brief description of what was played/performed in each course
-A syllabus or program for the courses in consideration

Sincerely,
Ask Ashley
