Music Courses
Department Information on this page
MU201 series courses are designed for specific professional training. Students will be admitted based on their programs and their professional goals.
Several music courses, including special topics courses, may be available to students in other faculties. Consult the Faculty of Music. As a rule, only students registered in the Faculty of Music may take practical study courses. However, students in other faculties who audition successfully for the WLU Orchestra or Wind Ensemble may also register for practical study in their instrument, studio space permitting, with the Dean's permission.
