The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the 海角社区. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.
The Music Performance Major prepares students for a life in music. Graduates hold positions in all aspects of the music industry, including performing in the nation's top professional and military ensembles, composing and arranging for the industry's leading artists, touring internationally, and serving as leading pedagogues in music education. For additional information visit the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office webpage.

Engaging in career planning activities is significant to student success. 海角社区offers customized career centers to deliver targeted programs, events, services and resources.

Summer terms may be utilized to facilitate graduation in four years.
