Credit Hour Loads• Most Music majors register for 15-18 credit hours each quarter, usually
with just one or two non-Music classes each quarter.• Your specific registration will depend on evaluation of any transfer
credits in Music with grades of “C-” or better (more on that in the following slides).
• If you haven’t completed one year of Music major coursework at another institution prior to enrolling at DU, you might find it helpful to review the video overview for first-time first-year undergraduate Music majors, since many of your courses would be the same.
