Music, B.A.
The B.A. in music consists of a liberal arts curriculum designed to provide students with a broad coverage of courses in music. The B.A. degree with a concentration in performance develops a student's ability to perform repertoire with technical and artistic understanding.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in music provides a strong education in the liberal arts. The major in music offers a broad knowledge of music theory and the history and development of music. Students can audition to select a performance concentration. This degree serves individuals who seek a broad overview of music combined with general education. Students who complete the B.A. and/or the B.A. concentration in performance pursue graduate work in music performance, music education, music business, and music therapy. Students also pursue careers in private teaching, working with Arts and Educational organizations, or become involved with rather than intense specialization in the undergraduate years.
