We are unable to accept non-majors into our program, however we encourage non-majors to participate in our various ensembles.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"What does full-time or part-time student mean?","description":"<p>Students who take 12 hours or more are considered full time. Any less than that is<br \/>\nconsidered part time. 12-15 hours is a normal full time load. Students can actually take<br \/>\nup to 18 hours in a semester, but that is highly discouraged because of the huge amount<br \/>\nof work it entails.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"If I am part-time and only take two classes per semester can I still graduate in two years?","description":"<p>It would be impossible for a student to be part time and graduate in 2 years. A degree is<br \/>\n60 hours, which equals 15 hours per semester. Most students at ACC will take 2-3<br \/>\nyears to finish their degrees.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"If I am part-time does that mean I am only required to take half of the required courses?","description":"<p>No. All AA degrees at ACC are 60 hours<\/p>\n"},{"title":"I want to be a full-time student and I work 40 hours per week.","description":"<p>This is nearly an impossible task. Being a full time student is nearly equivalent to a full<br \/>\ntime job. If you try this, you will either have problems at school or work, most likely both.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Are all of these classes required? Why are they only worth 1 credit hour?","description":"<p>Every music class in your degree is required. Some classes (like ensembles) are only<br \/>\none credit hour, yet take 4 hours a week, plus practice time. Music is a difficult skill to<br \/>\naccomplish. You aren\u2019t just learning information like you do in most classes. You are<br \/>\nusing information you learn to develop a skill, which takes time.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Is it normal to be taking 8-9 classes per semester?","description":"<p>In Music, yes, it is very normal. Since many classes are 1-2 credit hours, it appears you<br \/>\nhave a lot of classes. This is the same for every music degree in the United States.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Shouldn't I be taking my &quot;basics&quot; first?","description":"<p>Because we have so many different music classes that are spread out over the entire<br \/>\ndegree, students must only take 1-2 \u201cbasic\u201d classes at a time.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"I saw academic advising first and they registered me for 12 credits of core classes. I don't think I have time to start music classes.","description":"<p>Your core classes need to be spread out across four or more semesters so that you can<br \/>\ntake enough music classes in sequence to develop your skills. If you wait until your<br \/>\n\u201cbasics\u201d are finished to start your music degree, you will have wasted 2 years and have<br \/>\nto stay another 2 years to graduate.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"I didn't see academic advising and I can't register because of TSI holds.","description":"<p>Our Music Advisor cannot release holds on your account. Only Academic Advisors can<br \/>\ndo that. It is recommended to take care of any holds on your account prior to meeting<br \/>\nwith the Music Advisor.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Wait?! Are all of the music courses at the highland campus?","description":"<p>All Music Courses are at Highland because we have a lot of specialized equipment and<br \/>\nrooms that are only at that campus.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"I can only take evening or weekend classes.","description":"<p>There are very few if any classes for music offered nights\/weekends. We have offered<br \/>\nsome music classes as late as 4:30 or 6:00 pm to help accommodate work schedules,<br \/>\nbut we can only offer sections that have enough students.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Can I take all my courses online?","description":"<p>Music is a very difficult subject to learn online. There is a great deal of complicated,<br \/>\nhands-on work that students must do. The skills are simply not obtainable via online<br \/>\nclasses.<\/p>\n"}],"background":"Color","background_color":"#FFFFFF","background_gradient":{"gradient_start":"","gradient_end":""},"background_image":false,"text_mode":"dark","id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"four_columns","heading":"Links","column_1":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/all-events\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6251\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6251 aligncenter\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/04\/calendar-icon.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/all-events\/\">Full Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n","column_2":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/all-events#parking-directions-title\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6254\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6254 aligncenter\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/04\/map-icon.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/admc.austincc.edu\/music\/all-events#parking-directions-title\">Directions &amp;
