Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have already completed a semester under the old format (MUS-278)?
You will receive credit for the total required services for any previous semesters taken and passed with a C or better. That number would vary based on the semester taken and which option (2-semester or 4-semester) you choose. In most cases (with the 2-semester option) you would receive credit for 8 services.
Please contact the Production Manager if you are unsure of how many services your will receive credit for for previous semesters.
Is there a class meeting?
There is no class meeting. All the information is provided in the introduction video (link above).
