The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music program welcomes students to study the vast dimensions of the music field. This program ensures that a student will gain a comprehensive knowledge base around music theory, music history, and music technology and performance.
Students who enter the music program must select a concentration in Music Technology or General Music Studies in order to complete this major. The degree integrates performance experiences with academic training to develop thinking musicians. Over the course of their undergraduate experience, music majors are required to perform or present in at least two recitals.
This major is designed for students who have a passion for music and would like to obtain further knowledge in order to work in the music industry or explore a career for which training in two disciplines is highly desired, such as software development, acoustic architecture design or animation.
All liberal arts majors prepare students with the skills identified as contributing to managerial success: communication and listening well, possessing insights into others, creative/critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to make connections across complex ideas.
