 Return to: Academic Programs (by level)
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Music degree differs from a Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree in that it is a liberal arts degree designed for students who want both intensive training in music and the opportunity to explore other areas of academic study. The curriculum consists of 34 credit hours of General Education as well as a Foreign Language proficiency; 55 credit hours in the Core Music Curriculum, including private lessons, ensembles, music theory, aural skills, piano and music history; 18 credit hours of a designated minor or second major; and 13 credit hours of elective courses and additional music classes. The culminating experience for this degree is an academic Senior Project.
