Program planning is based on information available at the time of preparation. It
is the student’s responsibility to meet with their LCC advisor and with an advisor
at the college to which they plan to transfer for specific requirements. Consult the
LCC catalog for LCC graduation requirements.
Admission to baccalaureate music programs is competitive; therefore, no particular
GPA can guarantee admission to any specific program.

or universities to which they plan to apply for after admission.
2. Four-year institutions may have additional "university-specific" requirements for
admission which are not prerequisites specifically identified in the requirements
of this degree.
3. Four-year institutions may have "university-specific" requirements for graduation
