Online Course in Jazz History

Does anyone know where I can find an online course in Jazz history (or CLEP/Dantes Test)? My husband is interested in studing this area and obtaining credit towards a possible degree.

Thanks

 

I actually took this course at Fort Hays State but it might not be precisely what you are looking for:

"MUS 391* CA Jazz

An introduction to various components of jazz,
such as style periods, musicians, and composi-
tions, for those with an interest but no previous
knowledge in this field. A very important aspect
of the course is listening to examples. These are
intended to enhance the students' listening
ability and make them better consumers of all
kinds of music."

Sample syllabus attached.

 

Brigham Young University offers an Independent Study course that looks like it will fit the bill nicely;

P.S. Good to see you, Gina!

 

Thanks guys! And I have been well Bruce, I have been busy working on my dissertation and Teaching. Now that i finally have a break, I am able to do the things that I am used to!

Harvard Extension is doing MUSI E-139 A History of Blues in America online in the Spring. Related to jazz and a great school to take courses from.
