UNO Academic Program Roadmaps

Academic Roadmaps are designed to provide a sample plan for students to complete their degrees within four years. These plans are the recommended course sequence to help clarify which classes a student may take in developing their semester schedules.

View all Academic Roadmaps


Music 1000 - Always on Wednesdays (AOW)

All students must successfully complete several semesters for MUS 1000, Music Lab as described above. AOW is a School of Music convocation hour held every week on Wednesdays. It is required of all undergraduate music majors except for Music Technology majors. This class uses student performances and guest performances/lectures to develop performance skills, musical appreciation, and critical thinking.

All undergraduate music majors (excluding music technology majors) are required to attend 12 performances each semester including all UNO International Concert Series performances. For more information on AOW refer to the syllabus.

Specific requirements for AOW may change from semester to semester. Please contact Professor Jason Johnson at jkjohnson@unomaha.edu for updated information.

The School of Music will accept Departmental Recital transfer credit from accredited institutions. If performance attendance was not a separate course posted to your transcript, we may infer that it was a requirement of your applied lessons as a music major and will accept the transfer hours.


Final Class Examinations

The schedule for all final examinations is posted on the Final Exams Information Page. Occasionally, a situation arises when a final examination must be scheduled at an alternate time. Final examinations are required for each course unless a substitute arrangement is announced by the instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Only in the following instances will exams be rescheduled: documented illness, death in the family, or when three or more University examinations are scheduled on the same day. A special examination fee may be charged for an examination that has to be rescheduled. The week before finals is designated as “dead week” and no major exams constituting more than 25% of the final grade may be given.
