Overview

""Survey of College Entrance Credits and College Courses in Music"" provides a comprehensive examination of the status of music within the American higher education system during the early 20th century. Prepared by the Research Council of the Music Supervisors National Conference, this seminal report offers a detailed analysis of how music was recognized for college admission and how it was integrated into the undergraduate curriculum. The study explores the evolving standards for music credits, addressing the varying attitudes of universities toward music as a serious academic discipline. It documents the specific entrance requirements of numerous institutions, the types of music courses offered-ranging from theory and history to applied performance-and the credit-hour values assigned to these subjects. By collecting data from hundreds of colleges and universities, the work serves as a vital historical record of the professionalization of music education. Ideal for historians of education, musicologists, and academic administrators, this survey highlights the collaborative efforts of music supervisors and educational bureaus to standardize and elevate music's role in the intellectual life of the student. It remains an essential reference for understanding the structural foundations of modern music departments and the history of academic accreditation in the arts.
