Music Major (B.A.) - 36 credits

Major program

The music program offers a Bachelor of Arts degree, the B.A. in Music.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music (36-credit minimum) is for those students who wish to have double majors, who might choose a related field (e.g., arts management, part-time performance careers in orchestras) or who simply want a concentrated exposure to music study. Students choose between five different concentrations: performance; history and literature; theory and composition; jazz; conducting. For those who intend to pursue graduate study in music or a performing career, the major program should be viewed as the minimum requirement. Such students should regularly seek the advice of department faculty in expanding their program to suit their particular needs and goals.
