Music (B.A.)


The bachelor of arts with a major in music emphasizes the liberal arts tradition. The program provides enough flexibility in electives for students to meet other preprofessional requirements, and it thus may appeal to students whose professional goals do not terminate with music. The major program of music leading to the bachelor of arts degree may be elected with an emphasis in the areas of music literature, composition, or performance.
