SEMO, ECC Establish Music Degree Transfer Pathways

The agreements provide transfer pathways for students pursuing three degree options: a Bachelor of Arts in music, Bachelor of Music in performance and Bachelor of Music Education. The agreements outline how ECC coursework will count toward SEMO's music degree programs, helping students plan their academic progress and stay on track toward graduation.

The agreement is intended to strengthen the transfer process for students pursuing music degrees at SEMO, building on the existing relationship between the two institutions.

"We have a significant number of students who transfer to us from ECC, so establishing formalized pathways is an important step in supporting their continued success," said Dr. Nicholas Kenney, professor of horn and music chairperson. "Ultimately, this partnership will help students maximize existing credits, stay on track toward graduation, and save both time and money along the way."

"We are very excited about this program-to-program articulation," said Dr. Jennifer Judd, ECC music professor and program coordinator. "The articulation agreement provides a seamless transfer pathway for our students to continue their music studies at SEMO. Thanks to Dr. Kenney's tireless efforts and commitment, our students now have a clear and attainable path to earning their bachelor's degree in any of SEMO's music programs."
