Program Overview

The bachelor of arts with a major in music is an academically oriented degree for those who wish to combine the breadth of a traditional liberal arts curriculum with a focus on both the academic and applied aspects of music. The curriculum is flexible: ample electives allow for the possibility to explore additional fields of study, including double-majors, minors, certificate programs and pre-med or pre-law coursework. Because of the academic focus of this degree, students interested in studying performance should apply to a bachelor of music degree in their chosen instrument.
