This chapter investigates the general curricular requirements of two of the most popular music degrees undertaken by undergraduates—performance and music education—in order to consider how current coursework could be reconfigured into a more student-driven, inclusive framework that reflects the dynamics and needs of modern musical careers. In looking at the core courses as well as the upper-division, more specialized courses in each particular major, we address questions such as how to streamline core courses, how to allow students to have more active roles their degree trajectories without increasing the time it takes to graduate, and how to use the current degree models as jumping-off points for curricular reform. Specifically, the chapter examines representative music programs that have already successfully implemented curricula in entrepreneurial training, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and international exchanges, among other areas.
