Mission Statement

The School of the Arts manifests the fundamental role of the fine, performing, and communication arts in our diverse and global community. We commit ourselves to educate our students artistically and intellectually in order to facilitate personal and professional development. We value excellence in visual, spoken, written, kinetic, electronic, and musical expression. We seek to graduate creative individuals who think critically, communicate effectively, and act responsibly in society.

The following statements inform our mission:

    Students are the focus of our endeavors.

    We are a diverse body of faculty and staff who motivate, lead, and instruct students at the highest possible level and whose active professional lives model the standards we expect of our students.

    We serve students with diverse educational and professional goals.

    We pursue significant intellectual achievement and excellence through performance.

    We create partnerships with our community that provide artistic development, and reach audiences that we might not otherwise serve.

General Information

The Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts is widely recognized for its excellence throughout Indiana University, attracting attention regionally, nationally, and internationally. Students interacting with members of the arts faculty have the opportunity to study, grow, and develop within a wide range of traditional programs and professional studies leading to baccalaureate degrees. The four major areas of study are communications, music, theatre and the visual arts.

The educational process in the school balances specialization against an interdisciplinary viewpoint, which allows for concentrated study, but places it in a context. In addition to the increase of knowledge and skills within their chosen area of study, students also develop critical thinking, communication, and self-awareness skills. Students may anticipate close contact with faculty and class sizes aimed at maximizing educational opportunities. The school embraces difference and encourages students and faculty alike to explore the value of diversity. A close reading of the mission statement will prove beneficial to students applying to the School of the Arts.

Academic Regulations

All students in the School of the Arts should familiarize themselves with the Academic Regulations and Policies of the university in the front section of this Campus Bulletin. A number of specialized regulations apply to the school.

Occasional changes in the graduation requirements for School of the Arts majors may lead to uncertainty as to which bulletin is applicable for a given graduating student. For the general education requirements and other academic matters, the student may choose either the bulletin in effect at the time of matriculation to IUSB or the bulletin in effect at the time of graduation. For meeting requirements of the major, the choice is between the bulletin in effect when the student certifies into the School of the Arts and the bulletin in effect when the student graduates.

The Student’s Responsibility

All colleges establish certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. These regulations concern such things as curricula and courses, the requirements for majors and minors, and university procedures. Advisors, directors, and deans are available to advise students on how to meet these requirements, but each student is individually responsible for fulfilling them. If requirements have not been satisfied, the degree will be withheld pending adequate fulfillment. For this reason, it is important for each student to be well acquainted with all requirements described in this Campus Bulletin.

Admission

The student wishing to major in a subject area offered by the School of the Arts must take the following steps:

 

1.  Seek admission to IUSB. (See admissions section in the front of this Campus Bulletin.)

2.  If you are an entering freshman, plan to attend one of the mandatory orientation sessions. School of the Arts majors are directly admitted to the school and need the information presented in this orientation session. All entering freshmen must take university placement examinations in English, mathematics, and reading (transfer students should consult with the coordinator of student services to determine their placement examination requirements). As determined by placement examination results, some students may need to take additional courses, depending upon degree program requirements.

3.  School of the Arts majors will not be certified into a specific degree program immediately. Students will be certified into degree programs after completion of an entrance procedure as stipulated by each major area. The procedure may comprise an audition, an interview with a faculty member, a review of high school transcripts, a portfolio review, or some other method as prescribed by the area coordinator of each discipline. (Prospective music students should see the section on bachelor's degrees in music for entrance procedures.)

4.  Transfer students must wait to be advised until they have been admitted to IUSB and have had their transcripts evaluated by the admissions office. Transfer course equivalencies and fulfillment of degree requirements in the major are not guaranteed. The faculty in each area may require a transfer student to retake courses transferred from another university in order to guarantee proficiency. Should questions arise regarding the transfer of general education courses, transfer students should be prepared to present a syllabus and course description or a portfolio (if appropriate) to facilitate appropriate course transfers.

 


 

Associate of Arts

with Concentrations in Fine Arts, Communication Arts, and Theatre

The School of the Arts offers associate degrees in several arts concentrations. This degree is a two-year program of study which requires completion of 62-65 credit hours of course work. This degree provides the foundation for a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Fine Arts for those students who eventually wish to continue their undergraduate studies.

General Requirements

    A minimum of 62 credit hours is required.

    At least 15 credit hours must be completed while in residence at IUSB.

    A minimum of two courses in the area of concentration, totaling at least 6 credit hours, must be taken at IUSB.

    No more than 3 credit hours in the discipline of concentration may be counted toward a general education requirement.

    Students must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and a minimum concentration grade point average of 2.0, with no course below C in the concentration.

    All credit hours of candidates for degrees, except those of the current semester, must be on record at least six weeks prior to the conferring of degrees. Credit hours by correspondence must be on record at least three weeks prior to the conferring of degrees.

    An application for a degree must be filed in the office of the coordinator of student services, School of the Arts, no later than October 1 for May graduation, or March 1 for August and December graduation.

    A student may not be awarded an associate degree and a bachelor's degree in the same field in the same academic year.

 

 

Bachelor’s Degrees

General Requirements

School of the Arts students must meet the following minimum degree requirements by the time they expect to graduate:

    Minimum of 120-129 credit hours (see specific degree requirements). The total may include 2 credit hours of physical education and 4 credit hours of basic military science (neither is included in cumulative grade point average). Ordinarily, 95 credit hours is the maximum credit hours that may be transferred and counted toward the minimum 120 credit hours necessary for graduation in the School of the Arts. This limit applies also to credit hours earned at other campuses of Indiana University. Ensemble credits earned by music majors do not apply to the 120 credit hour minimum.

    Minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.

    All classes in the student’s major and minor areas must be passed with a C or better. However, the overall GPA in these areas may not fall below 2.0 (C).

    At least 26 credit hours of the work of the senior year and at least 10 credit hours above the first-level courses in the major subject (not necessarily during the senior year) normally must be completed while in residence at IUSB. The 10 credit hours in the major subject must be taken in courses approved by the major department.

    Not more than 60 credit hours earned in accredited junior colleges may be credited toward a degree.

    By special permission of the dean or area coordinator, a maximum of 12 credit hours toward a degree may be earned through correspondence study or by special credit examination. Ordinarily students in residence in the school are permitted to enroll concurrently in courses offered through the Indiana University Independent Study Program (correspondence courses). Any correspondence courses in the student’s major must also have the approval of the departmental area coordinator. (SPCH S121 Public Speaking may not be taken by correspondence.)

    A student normally is expected to complete the work for a degree within 10 years. Failure to do so may require passing of comprehensive examinations on the subjects in the area(s) of concentration and fulfilling the requirements in the current Campus Bulletin.

    All credit hours of candidates for degrees, except those of the current semester, must be on record at least six weeks prior to the conferring of degrees. Credit hours by correspondence must be on record at least three weeks prior to the conferring of degrees.

    An application for a degree must be filed in the office of the coordinator of student services, School of the Arts, no later than October 1 for May graduation, or March 1 for August and December graduation.

    Any course in which the student receives a grade of F does not count in the credit hours accumulated for graduation. Any courses in which a letter grade of D is received will not count in a student’s major.

    All School of the Arts majors are required to meet an events attendance requirement per semester as follows:

     —Communication arts majors are required to attend three events and are responsible to the professor in the highest-level major course in which they are enrolled.

     —Fine arts majors must attend four events each semester whenever they are enrolled in an art history course.

     —Music majors must attend eight events each semester whenever they are enrolled in a theory or music history course.

     —Theatre majors are required to attend six events per semester and are responsible to the professor in the highest-level major course in which they are enrolled.

Note: Failure to meet the events attendance requirement will result in the lowering of the grade by one letter in the aforementioned course.

    All School of the Arts majors shall be responsible for taking part in an upper-division examination approximately half way through their degree programs. Students are eligible for placement in upper-division upon completion of 56 credit hours, with a significant number of hours in the major area. A student’s readiness for the upper-division will be determined by the academic coordinator, with input from the student’s faculty advisor. Upper-division reviews comprise a portfolio review in fine arts, a twenty-minute performance in music, a monologue or design/technical presentation in theatre, and a major paper or project in mass communications and speech, as determined by a faculty advisor.

    Any student completing the undergraduate requirements for a degree in the School of the Arts with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 will be graduated with distinction; 3.75, with high distinction; 3.90 (3.95 in music courses), with highest distinction.

Fine Arts Upper-Divisional Review

No student may take any B.F.A. courses or any 400-level studio courses before he or she successfully passes the upper-divisional review. Students are expected to complete this review at the earliest possible point in their academic career. When students have completed between 50 and 60 credit hours and at least five of the six fundamental courses (FINA F100, FINA F101, FINA F102, FINA P273, FINA A101, and FINA A102) they will be scheduled for their upper-divisionals.

Students undertaking this review will be expected to present a portfolio of work representing their achievements in the studio. This portfolio should show breadth (work in all the areas that a student has studied) and quality (a careful selection of the best work in the student’s area of concentration). The faculty expects to see work that demonstrates ability and improvement. The faculty expects students to present their work in good condition and in a manner that expresses their personal development, course of study, or academic goals. Also, students will be expected to make a brief, 3-5 minute opening statement outlining their achievements so far and goals for the future, as well as address any faculty questions. For B.F.A. students this should include a statement of proposed concentration. In addition, the faculty expects that students will attain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all courses taken, and a minimum 2.5 GPA in courses in the fine arts.

At the conclusion of the review, the faculty may choose to accept a student into the B.A. or B.F.A. programs with or without provisions outlined by the faculty. The faculty may also decide to rehear students if work in some areas requires improvement. In certain cases, the faculty may decline to accept a student into the B.A. or B.F.A. programs if the quality of either their classroom or studio work is deemed insufficient. A student may attempt to pass upper-divisional review only two times. Each hearing counts as one attempt; failure to meet provisions within a specified time counts as one attempt. Failure to attend a scheduled review counts as one attempt.

General Information

Admission

In addition to the general admission requirements for IUSB, prospective music students must take the following steps:

1.  Students must audition on their major instrument. A later change of major instrument will require an additional audition. For information about audition dates and repertoire, contact the School of the Arts office.

2. All entering students must complete an assessment process to determine their placement in music theory and music history classes. There is no charge for this examination, which is scheduled every semester. Contact the School of the Arts office for examination dates.

Once the above steps are completed, the student may be certified as a music major. However, up to the time when 45 credit hours are successfully completed, the student may transfer to another academic program, either at the student’s request or on the recommendation of the music faculty.

Transfer Students

Transfer students must audition in a major performing area for admission to a particular curriculum. Applicants with cumulative grade point averages below the requirement may petition for admission on probationary status on the basis of musical talent demonstrated by an audition before music faculty members.

All credit hours in music and foreign languages from an institution other than Indiana University are subject to placement and evaluation in the School of the Arts and must be validated upon entrance by examination or audition.

Transfer students, especially those transferring for their junior or senior years, must be aware of the possibility that not all credit hours in the above areas will be accepted or counted toward degree requirements in the School of the Arts. These students may have to spend a longer time to complete their bachelor’s degrees.

Transfer students may take a music examination to demonstrate their comprehension when they have passed an equivalent course at another institution. (See Credit by Examination within Academic Regulations and Policies of the University in this Campus Bulletin for more information.)

Credit for Professional Experience

Students seeking credit for equivalent professional experience will be evaluated as follows:

    In academic courses, on the recommendation of the director of instruction, the student may gain School of the Arts credit by examination.

    In applied music, advanced placement in a medium shall be achieved only through parallel music performance and literature examinations which evaluate the composite level of experience.

No credit in music courses may be acquired at IUSB through any examination not conducted by the music faculty.

Ensemble Requirement

All undergraduate music students in the School of the Arts must enroll in a major ensemble and earn a passing grade each semester of registration regardless of admission status. Attendance at public performances of the major ensemble is required.

In order to preserve necessary performance balances, no withdrawals from music ensembles will be permitted after the second week of the semester. Appeals must be directed to the arts faculty. Students should note that absence from a public performance, for any reason other than emergency illness, will be regarded with the utmost seriousness, and will be grounds for failure in ensemble.

Commencement activities and similar ceremonies may require performances by university ensembles after semester classes are over. The music faculty issue grades in such cases pending satisfactory participation by all performers and reserve the right to revise those grades after original issuance where necessary.

Checklist

Students who have not returned equipment, music, instruments, keys, locks, etc., to the music office or other designated area by the designated date will be placed on a checklist. A student on the checklist may neither register in the following semester nor receive honorable dismissal to enter another institution. If the item cannot be returned, the student will be charged for its replacement value, plus necessary fines to cover the clerical operation. Keys that are lost or not returned will require a complete lock change, and this cost will be charged to the student.

Applied Music Procedures

The assignment of students to teachers for applied music lessons is the responsibility of the music area coordinator, and is made on the basis of student request and availability of the preferred teacher. At the time of enrollment, students may indicate their first, second, and third choice of teachers. (It is recommended that major and concentration-level students contact their preferred teacher(s) before enrollment.)

No one may withdraw from an applied music course once the formal assignment list is posted except by appeal to the music faculty. Because a major portion of a faculty member’s time is allocated by the enrollment process to a single student, assignment in these courses must be final.

An applied music fee is assessed, in addition to regular credit hour fees, to all students enrolled in applied music. Consult the current Schedule of Classes for fee information.

Performer’s Certificate

The IUSB School of the Arts faculty have established the Performer’s Certificate to honor those students who exhibit exceptional abilities in music performance. While all applied music students are eligible, the certificate rarely will be awarded to those below senior standing. No regular schedule of awards will be established, nor shall any student receive the certificate twice.

A student is nominated for the Performer’s Certificate upon the favorable vote of two-thirds of the faculty present at the recital hearing. All resident music faculty members are thereby obligated to attend the public recital itself, following which a final ballot will be taken from a minimum of six resident faculty members. The certificate will be awarded unless two or more negative ballots are cast by those present and voting.

Composer’s Certificate

The faculty also have established the Composer’s Certificate to honor those composition majors who exhibit exceptional abilities in composition while at IUSB. Composition majors will normally be considered for this award in conjunction with their senior recital in composition.

The criteria for this award are not only the quality of the student’s compositions, but also the degree of professionalism exhibited in the preparation of the compositions for public performance. No regular schedule of awards will be established. A student who is awarded the Composer’s Certificate shall not thereby be prevented from also receiving the Performer’s Certificate, and vice versa. The procedures by which a student is nominated for and elected to the award are identical with those established for the Performer’s Certificate.

 

Bachelor’s Degrees in Music

Keyboard Proficiency

All students majoring in music (B.M., B.M.E., B.S.) must pass a keyboard proficiency examination before graduation. (B.M.E. students must pass the keyboard proficiency examination before student teaching.) The proficiency examination tests the student’s ability to use the piano as a tool within the framework of professional activities; thus, the requirements vary in emphasis according to the area of major study. The examination is taken with the consent of the instructor with whom the secondary student is studying. Entering students who are prepared to take the examination may do so.

The examination is offered at the end of each fall and spring semester. Examining committees will consist of at least one member of the piano faculty plus a representative from either the theory or music education faculties, or both. A student may attempt all or part of the examination in a given semester; any requirements attempted in which the student is deemed to be deficient will be subject to reexamination the following semester.

Students, except those majoring in a keyboard instrument, are required to enroll in piano class until they have passed the piano proficiency or have completed the piano class sequence (MUS P101, MUS P102, MUS P103, MUS P104 Piano Class I-IV). Students who reach the fourth semester of piano class, MUS P104 Piano Class IV, without having attempted the examination are required to do so during that fourth semester.

Students are entitled to enroll in one semester of studio instruction in piano MUS P200 Piano upon completion of the piano class sequence (or earlier, with faculty permission). Enrollees in MUS P200 Piano will take the piano proficiency examination at the end of the semester. Note that all students majoring in a keyboard instrument must take the piano proficiency examination no later than the end of their first semester of study.

Students who intend to attempt the examination in a given semester will enroll that semester in the noncredit course number MUS P105 Keyboard Proficiency. The successful completion of the examination will confer the grade of S; the completion of only part of the examination, or failure to pass any part of the examination, will result in the grade of I. The refusal to attempt the examination will result in the grade of F. Once students have passed part of the examination, they are required to attempt it in each succeeding semester until all is passed. However, they need not reenroll in MUS P105 Keyboard Proficiency.

Requirements for Keyboard Proficiency

Basic examination required for all degree programs in music:

1.  Reading a melodic line at sight, incorporating a simple accompaniment.

2.  Sight-reading a four-part chorale, hymn, or community song.

3.  Sight-reading as follows:

     —Voice (B.M., B.M.E., B.S.): an accompaniment to an art song.

     —Instrumental (B.M., B.M.E., B.S.): an accompaniment to an instrumental solo.

     —Keyboard (except organ) (B.M.E., B.M., B.S.): the piano part of an ensemble piece such as a Mozart sonata for piano and violin.

4.  Playing a Roman numeral chord progression, such as I IV ii6 V7 I, in a major key (to four sharps or flats).

5.  Playing a familiar melody, such as ‘‘Happy Birthday,’’ or ‘‘Auld Lang Syne,’’ by ear, incorporating a chordal accompaniment.

6.  Playing from music either the ‘‘Star-Spangled Banner’’ in A-flat, ‘‘America’’ in F, or ‘‘America the Beautiful’’ in B-flat. Foreign students may substitute a patriotic song of their own country for the songs listed above; organists may substitute the “Gloria Patri” or the “Doxology.”

7.  Additional requirements: (required of students in the degree programs indicated)

     —Piano and Organ (B.M., B.S.): Scales and arpeggios, major and minor keys, in sixteenth notes, two handsfour octaves, quarter note = M.M. 144.

     —Organ (B.M., B.S.): Chorale style improvisation, modulation to any key.

     —Organ (B.M., B.S., B.M.E.): Transposition of a hymn by a half or whole step in either direction. Sight-reading of vocal score.

     —Voice (B.M., B.S., B.M.E.): Sight-reading a solo vocal part together with the piano accompaniment.

     —Composition (B.M.): Sight-reading (from score) a portion of a Classical period string quartet (slow movement). Realize in four parts a Roman numeral progression which modulates to a distantly related key, and which may include chord types such as the augmented sixth, Neapolitan sixth, altered dominants, etc. Sight-reading a portion of a twentieth century piano work of moderate difficulty, e.g., Bartók Mikrokosmos, Vol. V.

     —All B.M.E. Students: Transpose a melodic line at sight to any key.

Candidates for the B.M. keyboard degree must meet all the requirements for their major instrument.

 

General Education Requirements

The general education requirements for bachelor’s degrees in music vary with the degree program. Please refer to the individual curriculum.

Curricula for Bachelor’s Degrees

All curricula for bachelor’s degrees in music must include study in the principal instrument during every semester of enrollment, with concurrent enrollment in MUS U310 Performance Laboratory.

In addition, the following specifics will apply for each degree: All entering or transferring music majors must complete an assessment process in music theory and general music history prior to being placed in music theory and music history courses. Should remedial work in either area be required, the student will be expected to complete MUS I101 Literature and Structure, before being permitted to enroll in MUS T113 Music Theory I and/or MUS M201 The Literature of Music. Therefore, the following patterns of music theory and music history enrollment are possible:
