Music Ed and Engineering?

[WayOutWestMom]

<p>Engineering is one of the most rigid and time-consuming of all majors. A couple of the engineering degree programs require overloading classes for 1-3 semesters just to be able to graduate in 4 years.</p>

<p>Here is the recommended course of study for MechE</p>

<p>[Bachelor</a> of Science : Mechanical Engineering : University of Rochester](<a href=“http://www.me.rochester.edu/major-minor/major.html#fouryear_program]Bachelor”>http://www.me.rochester.edu/major-minor/major.html#fouryear_program)</p>

<p>As you can see you will little free space in your schedule for extras classes in education or music.</p>

<p>I believe --though I’m not 100% certain-- that the music education dept is at Eastman, not URoch. If that’s true and you want to double major in engineering AND music education you will need to apply to both Eastman and URoch. </p>

<p>However, you can major in music, minor in music or take a cluster in music at UR.</p>

<p>Here’s the music dept’s homepage</p>

<p>~~~~~</p>

<p>URoch will allow you to credit for AP Calc AB, but if you major in engineering you won’t be to use your Phys B credits. (You need calc based physics for an engineering major).</p>

<p>URoch does not allow the use of AP credits (in Eng Lang) regardless of score to place out of the freshman writing requirement either.</p>

<p>Your history APs would only be useful if you are going to major or minor in history. You cannot used AP credits to fulfill cluster requirements and URoch doesn’t have any distribution requirements. Same would be true of the Spanish.</p>

<p>I know this is probably disappointing, but it is what is. Many students at UR have excess, unused AP credits on their transcripts. I know my D certainly did.</p>

<p>One other thing-- URoch has an 8 semester rule</p>

<p>

The University’s eight-semester tuition regulation states that a student must pay for the equivalent of eight semesters of tuition. (The University expects a student who enters as a first-semester freshman to be enrolled for eight semesters, and a transfer student to be enrolled for as many semesters as the initial classification would indicate.) Advanced Placement credit and courses transferred to the student’s record from other institutions may be used toward fulfillment of this regulation. However, credits in excess of 16 per semester that are used for the purpose of accelerated graduation or early completion of graduation requirements must be paid for at the tuition rate in effect at the time the credits were taken. Students thinking of graduating early are encouraged to talk to an adviser in Academic Support.
