Fifty-one undergraduate music majors were asked to choose one of four models for thirteen music and non-music occupations. The models consisted of a Black female, a White female, a Black male, and a White male. The results found that the race and gender of the models were determining factors in the participants' choice for various occupations; however, the race and gender of the participants were not determined to be major factors in their model selection. Also revealed in this study was the importance of status and the type of occupation use. The male models were chosen the most for high-status occupations, music history professor, jazz ensemble instructor, and symphonic band director. Females dominated the participant's choice for voice instructor and both mid and low status occupations / A Thesis submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the
