B. SIZE AND SCOPE

1. Describe and evaluate the relationship among size and scope, goals and objectives, and resources -personnel, facilities, equipment, sustaining budget, etc.

The School's size and scope are direct outgrowths of its goals and objectives as they have evolved over time. With approximately 650 music majors, the School has a sufficient enrollment or critical mass of students to support the number and diversity of programs offered.¹ A few programs, such as graduate programs in instrumental conducting and media writing and production, have small enrollments by design. Instrumental conducting majors are limited to two in order to permit requisite podium time, and media writing and production enrollment is limited to the number of students that the program's laboratory can accommodate.

Likewise, there appear to be an appropriate number of faculty and other resources to support the programs and curricula presently offered. Consistent with the number of degree programs offered, the School has a full cadre of specialist faculty  both full and part time. An issue of concern to the faculty, however, relates to the teaching loads of music faculty versus those in the other schools and colleges in the University. This will be addressed subsequently in the appropriate section of the Self Study.

Of primary concern with regard to size and scope are deficiencies in facilities with respect to the number and/or quality of faculty studios, practice rooms, and rehearsal halls, as well as the fact that some faculty are housed in locations remote to central music facilities. These deficiencies will be discussed in detail in item F, dealing with facilities and equipment.

While budgeted fiscal resources could in some respects be viewed as being marginal, earned and gift income are usually such that, with judicious planning, most of the music unit's basic needs can be accommodated. Item C, Finances, will thoroughly outline budgetary matters.

Although scheduling is sometimes a concern, there appear to be sufficient advanced courses in music appropriate to the major areas of study at the degree levels being offered. These include requisite ensemble experiences at advanced levels, with approximately fifty ensembles of varying sizes and types which perform a wide spectrum of repertoire.

2. Enrollment figures for the music unit must be provided in the HEADS Data Survey presented in Appendix I.

See Appendix I.

3. A complete list of graduates, by name, from each degree program or postsecondary non degree granting program, by year, for the past three years must be available to the visiting evaluators. The music unit must be prepared to provide transcripts of graduates from degree programs and postsecondary non degree granting programs as requested by the visitors and to justify any departures from NASM standards and from the institution's own stated requirements.

Graduate Program

4. Describe how the graduate programs in music provide a community of student and faculty composers, and/or performers, and/or scholars of sufficient size and scope to permit the formal and informal sharing of experiences, ideas, and knowledge.

The number of graduate students (approximately 200) is sufficient to provide peer groups, or communities of scholars, for most graduate programs in the School. With the exception of the Instrumental Conducting program, which is limited to two students because of constraints related to podium time, most graduate programs have at least five students. Most of the students in these small programs (Music Engineering, Media Writing and Production, Studio Jazz Writing, Music Therapy) take core courses with students in other graduate programs in music, thus expanding the community of graduate students with whom they interact.

An important tradition of the School of Music is each program's weekly "Forum." All full time graduate students are required to enroll in and attend these non credit forums; to encourage attendance, most programs provide grades (based on attendance) which are recorded on students' transcripts. Each academic program and each performance area has its own forum through which common interests, concerns, and issues are discussed. Guest speakers, performers, composers, and clinicians complement the respective programs' regular presentations, which may include student recitals, performances of student compositions, lecture demonstrations, and discussions of program and advising matters.

Areas For Improvement

5. Please note any areas for improvement the Self Study has revealed concerning size and scope. Describe how these issues can be addressed.

To avoid redundancy, areas of improvement relative to size and scope are delineated in appropriate sections of the Self Study, in particular those sections dealing with faculty
