ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about the BELL CORE Requirements

Learning Community Courses Requirement:

All Music Majors must take two “linked” Learning Community General Education courses during the spring semester of their Freshman year. One of the courses must be MUH 1200 Introduction to Music: History, Style and Culture. The two linked courses include the same students and are connected by a natural overlap in content, allowing students to encounter a subject using the perspective, methods, and questions of two different disciplines. These are NOT extra courses; rather, each is one of the General Education courses required in the BELL core.

Global Studies Requirement:

Students must take four Global Studies courses (12 hours) before graduating. These are NOT extra courses. Rather, they are courses (in either the general education BELL Core or in Music) that are designated “GLOBAL STUDIES in ClassFinder. Music Majors will receive 9 hours of global studies in their music history course sequence. Because both 1000-level religion courses carry the global designation, meeting this requirement is not a problem for music majors.

Junior Cornerstone Requirement

Should be taken during the Junior Year

Is NOT an extra course. Rather it is a course from the General Education categories (see front page of check sheet) that is offered with the designation “Junior Cornerstone” in ClassFinder. The number will be _ _ _ 3015.

For music majors, the Junior Cornerstone should be in an area other than music.

All Junior Cornerstone courses are problem-based courses, and are, by definition experiential in nature. Thus the Junior Cornerstone course helps meet the Experiential Learning Requirement (see below).

Experiential Learning Requirement

Experiential Learning (EL) courses at Belmont include an out-of-class component that involves the students in "doing" an aspect of the course. These active learning experiences complement the students' in-class learning. Essentially, the experience applies the course of study, giving it greater resonance, while the classroom studies give the students' "doing" greater contextualization. Consequently, students' understanding is deepened and enriched within these EL courses. Music students will take TWO Experiential Learning courses, one of which will be the Junior Cornerstone course, and the other will be their 25-minute recital.
