BA (Music)
Bachelor of Arts (Music)
Pursue music with our classical conservatory-driven program where you combine your passion for music as you build your program around your diverse interests.
The major in music is a broad, general program of study. As a student you complete a core of required music courses and then can choose electives based on your areas of interest. You can choose to focus on scholarly and written work without requiring a high level of musical performance skills, although a degree of facility on an instrument is recommended.
This major includes initial study in music history and theory courses, and may include applied music instruction in:
- Studio courses
- Ensemble activity courses
- Conducting
Students will tailor their program depending on their interests in one or more areas such as history, theory, classical and/or contemporary music.
