    A major in Music requires a minimum of *30 to a maximum of *48 at the senior level and must include a minimum of *6 at the 400-level. The major must include at least *3 in each of: music theory and composition (chosen from MUSIC 255, 256, 259, 260, 455, 456, 470, 471, 555, and 556); music history (chosen from MUSIC 413, 480, 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 487, 501, 502, 505, and 508); and ethnomusicology (chosen from MUSIC 365, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, and 469). MUSIC 201 may not be counted toward the major, and no more than *9 from MUSIC X24, X25, X26, X27, X40, and X41 may be counted toward the major.

44.21.3 Certificate in World Sound Arts

    Recently, digital technology has radically transformed the world of music by enabling new pathways for sonic creation, representation, fusion, and circulation, broadening musical horizons, and enabling unprecedented modes of scholarly access and research throughout newly interconnected sonic cultures (including traditional music, popular music, jazz, and the avant-garde) around the globe. This Certificate in World Sound Arts centers upon sounds, techniques, and disciplines from beyond the standard western music conservatory: electroacoustic music, popular music, jazz, world music, music technology, ethnomusicology, and the sociology of music. The Certificate provides recognition of musical training relevant to careers in media arts production, audio design, video game music, sound arts curation, archiving, online digital music repositories, arts organization, community advocacy, public sector work, and music technology.

    Students wishing to pursue the Certificate in World Sound Arts must apply through Undergraduate Student Services in the Faculty of Arts by the application deadline for graduation (see §11).

    Students receive this Certificate in World Sound Arts after completing *27 as follows: MUSIC 245; 445 or 545; 102; 365; one of MUSIC 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, or 469; 103; 203; one of MUSIC 313, 206, 413 or 484; one of MUSIC 143, 144, 148, 193, 243, 244, 248, 293, 343, 344, 348, 393, 443, 444, 448, or 493.
