READ BETWEEN THE STAFF LINES The Bachelor of Music in Music History and Literature provides a rigorous core of courses in the history and literature of Western music and offers opportunities for deeper study in related fields such as music theory, literature, anthropology, philosophy, history and foreign languages. The degree culminates with an extended senior thesis under the mentorship of a member of the music history faculty. This degree is aimed primarily at students preparing to attend graduate school in musicology, although it might be of interest to students who are planning a career in a non-teaching, non-performing area of music such as ensemble management and representation, information sciences or educational media. Opportunities are available for supported summer research and independent study. Also available to our students is the opportunity for exploration of the school's extensive collection of period instruments in our Early Music Ensembles, which gives students a chance to perform music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance and Baroque Eras. Students in this major have continued their studies in graduate programs in musicology at well-established programs such as those at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill and the University of Michigan.
