Musicology and music theory

Three courses, at least one in musicology and one in music theory, from the list every DMA path shares; the third may instead be one of the two music education courses on it (MUSIC 946, CURRIC 947). Taken at UW-Madison, each for its full 3 credits, and not counted twice. The Guide also lists MUSIC 823, which has no page among its courses, so it is not drawn.
