Associate of Arts Jazz Studies
This program provides expert training in jazz performance, theory, and history. This program also qualifies students for our Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies program.
Acceptance into the program: Although students may enroll in any music course for which they qualify, an application to the program and acceptance into the major after a formal performance audition is required before the student will be considered as a degree-seeking music major. Applicants must also demonstrate a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.50; continued participation requires maintaining a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA, with no grade lower than a C. Interested students should contact Dr. Sasha Garver (505.747.2295) for information, advisement, and an application packet.
