Music at Collin

Effective January 25, 2024, this award is no longer eligible to be declared as an intended program/major due to the expiration, by law, of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB) approval of the curriculum. Students that have already declared this intended program/major prior to January 25, 2024 MUST complete the award no later than August 31, 2025. The courses in this program will continue to be offered by Collin College, but Collin College will no longer be able to award the AA - Music Field of Study degree after August 31, 2025. Please see a Collin College advisor if you have questions.

An Associate of Arts with a Music Field of Study requires 60 credit hours, including 31 credit hours of music coursework and 32 credit hours of General Education Core (with 3 credit hours counting in both categories). Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree-applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.

This degree plan does not require completion of the Core Curriculum. Instead, students are obligated to satisfy the Field of Study (FOS). Students who wish to complete the Core Curriculum at Collin College should meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss the various options for completing the Core Curriculum.  Otherwise students will complete the core curriculum at their transfer institution when completing a subsequent baccalaureate degree.
