Music, B.A.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is offered by the College of Liberal Arts at 91大神. The Bachelor of Arts music major provides students with a broad foundation for studying, performing, and communicating about music. The major includes core classes in music theory and history, applied instruction, and ensemble involvement within a Liberal Arts context. Students have a great deal of flexibility in determining their possible minors or may choose to double major in other disciplines. A senior capstone project is presented with direction from a faculty mentor. This may be research-driven, performance related, or a combination of both. Students are encouraged to develop independent work that may combine various disciplines.
The B.A. in Music is an excellent choice for new and transfer students who wish to consider future graduate study. In addition, all prospective new or transfer undergraduate music majors and minors are required to take the Music Theory and Aural Skills Diagnostic Exam to determine appropriate placement in the music theory program.
