Music Major
As a music major, you will explore critical issues of tradition, individual composers, compositional craft, aesthetic interpretation, and music's social and cultural significance through a wide range of courses. In this varied course of study, music is approached as a liberal and fine art, rather than as an isolated, separate subject. Students may between two tracks: the Bachelor of Arts in Music, which provides a broad liberal arts education with a foundation in music and can be pursued on its own or as a double major with another discipline, or the Bachelor of Music, which is a professional degree.
