You might be considered a sophomore, as some of your gen eds may be accepted here. Our website says:

"First degree completed elsewhere, second at Fullerton.
Students seeking a bachelor's degree from Fullerton after having received a baccalaureate from another institution may qualify for graduation with the approval and recommendation of the faculty upon completion of the following:
1) General education requirements: Students holding a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution will be held to (a) the breadth requirements of Executive Order 595, i.e., 12 units in each of the areas of arts and humanities, social sciences, and math and science, (b) the statutory requirements and (c) the English Writing Proficiency requirements. Students will not be held to specific CSUF categories or courses.
2) all requirements in the major field of study
3) residence and scholarship requirements"

So if you come in with any transferrable GEs, you'll be placed in the university at that "level" of units accumulated. The department can consider you a sophomore, giving you one year in which to take all the prerequisites to jury (audition into the program).

After the jury, if you don't pass the acting and/or the dance, but pass the voice jury, you may choose to pursue a vocal music degree - but that is offered through the Music Department (separate entity), and they will likely not accept any theatre classes for their degree requirements (meaning it could take you another three years to complete their degree requirements).

As for our vocal music majors, they mostly aim for opera careers. Their training doesn't include pop/belt ("jazz" is as close as you come to this); only bel canto/legit.

Hope this answers your questions,
