IDS 264 s01 EUROPE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION SEMINAR - 4 Units

This course is designed as an introduction to the European Union: European politics, economics and society.  The European landscape is shifting- the EU is an emerging social structure: it is expanding geographically, integrating economically and deepening politically.  While the new social structure is not the United States of Europe, it is no longer the separate nations of Europe either.  What are these changes and how are they affecting the idea of being European?  To begin to understand the emerging Europe, students need a firm footing in the structure and institutions of the European Union and European economy.  Furthermore, they should understand the historical context that has allowed the European Union to develop, expand and deepen.

MUSP 350s.01  APPLIED MUSIC  (CR/NCR only) - 4 Units

Music majors can elect to take this course in place of the European Union Seminar.  The music major can enrich their musical experiences in Salzburg by being tutored in their applied lessons by a member or associate of the world famous Mozarteum faculty.

The opportunity to audition for full inclusion in the Mozarteum does exist for the serious music student with appropriate language and music skills and full backing of their University.  Admission into the Mozarteum is the sole province of the Mozarteum itself, and can be finalized only in Salzburg by a student satisfying the audition and exam requirements administered by the Mozarteum staff.  If accepted, the student would adapt to the calendar and curriculum of the Mozarteum and such involvement would likely come at the expense of involvement in any of the field experiences of the regular Salzburg Semester program.
