Correlate Sequences in Music
The music department offers four correlate sequences, each requiring 6 units of credit of which no fewer than 5 should be taken at Vassar. No more than one course counted toward the correlate may be taken NRO. Specific courses to be taken within each sequence are outlined below.
Students interested in pursuing a correlate sequence in music should discuss it with the music department chair as well as their major advisors during their sophomore or junior year, and they will be assigned a correlate advisor from the music faculty. All correlate sequences in music must be declared by the end of the junior year.
