CERTIFICATE IN SPANISH TRANSLATION
The certificate in Spanish translation provides a course of study that prepares the student
in the special skills involved in the role of translator. The award of the certificate provides
evidence of practical competence in translating written texts to or from Spanish;
interpretation of spoken Spanish is not involved. There are four required translation
courses that must be satisfactorily completed, following which students may take a
demanding final proficiency examination. Satisfactory performance on the examination
entitles the student to receive the certificate in translation. Those students whose
performance is judged only adequate may receive credit for completing the course
sequence, but will not be awarded the certificate.
Required courses (12 s.h.): SPAN 3340, 4340, 5340, 5940.
p. 407: Add new SPAN courses as follows:
5340. Advanced Translation I (3) (F) P: SPAN 4340. Practice of the translation skills

may be allowed to take qualifying exams for award of the Certificate in Spanish
Translation. P: SPAN 5340. Continuation of the skills practiced in SPAN 4340 and 5340 at
advanced level, entailing the translation of written texts in a variety of styles and on
different topics, from Spanish into English and vice versa.

ADMISSION
Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the School of Music.
Prospective music majors and minors must be admitted both to the university and to the
School of Music. Admission to the School of Music is determined by an acceptable level
of performance as demonstrated through a personal audition or a recent taped recording.
A satisfactory audition is required of all entering freshmen, transfer students, and students
being readmitted. Acceptance of the audition is based upon an affirmative vote by a
majority of the auditioning committee, which comprises a minimum of three faculty
members. Admission is limited in some applied disciplines in the School of Music. For
detailed information, students should contact the assistant dean for undergraduate studies
of the School of Music.
PERFORMANCE MEDIUM
Each music major or minor is required to have a major performance medium. The medium
may be chosen in any of the following areas: piano, organ, voice, strings, woodwind,
brass, or percussion. Private instruction in the chosen medium is required throughout the
four-year program of study. Detailed information regarding auditions and audition dates
will be supplied upon request by the assistant dean for undergraduate studies of the
School of Music. Basic entrance requirements in the major performance media are as
follows:
Voice: An acceptable voice and the ability to sing with accurate pitch and rhythm.
Piano: The ability to perform acceptably major and minor scales and arpeggios and
compositions representative of piano literature from three of the four style periods
(baroque, classic, romantic, contemporary).
Other Instruments: A fundamental knowledge of the instrument including an acceptable
method of producing tone; awareness of intonation problems; accurate rhythmic feeling;
some knowledge of solo literature available for the instrument; the ability to play major,
minor, and chromatic scales with the proper fingering.
A student whose performance proficiency level is slightly below the minimum for entering
freshmen may be admitted on probation in a major applied area. The student may take
freshman music courses for credit and preparatory work in a major applied area for no
credit for a maximum of one semester, as determined by the faculty in the major area.
CURRICULA
Placement Examinations
Transfer students are given placement tests in basic music knowledge during the summer
orientation to determine their appropriate levels of study in music theory and history
courses.
Transfer students are given jury examinations in their major applied areas at the end of
the first semester to establish their appropriate proficiency levels.
General Recital Attendance Requirement for All Majors
Each music major is required to attend at least 75 percent of the total number of general
recitals offered during his or her enrollment at East Carolina University. (Music education
students will be exempted during the student teaching semester.)
Piano Proficiency for All Majors
Music majors are required to complete satisfactorily the group piano sequence indicated in
their concentrations or to demonstrate a comparable level of accomplishment.
Students should enroll in group piano each semester until the sequence is completed.
Any student interrupting the sequence (either by dropping or by not enrolling) must retake
the placement audition before enrolling in any subsequent piano course.
Applied and Core Music Regulations for Music Majors and Minors
A minimum grade of C in applied lessons on a student's major instrument will qualify as
credit in the applied major guideline. The first grade lower than C must be raised the
following semester according to the procedures given in the undergraduate catalog. A
student will be disqualified as a music major or music minor the second time that he or
she receives a grade lower than C in applied lessons on the major instrument.
A minimum grade of C in core MUSC courses (1156, 1166, 1176, 1186, 1406, 2156,
2166, 2176, 2186, 2406, 2416, 3156, 3166, 3176) is required to receive credit toward the
music major.
BACHELOR OF MUSIC DEGREES
Majors for the bachelor of music degree are offered in music education, music therapy,
performance (with concentrations in sacred music, jazz studies, music theatre, organ,
piano, piano pedagogy, strings, voice, and winds or percussion), and theory-composition
(with concentrations in theory, traditional media composition, and electronic media
composition). For admission to the upper level of the degree programs, a student must
have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 in music
courses at the end of the sophomore year.
