Undergraduate Programs

A major in music offers students comprehensive training in composition, education, jazz studies, performance, or liberal arts. Most music graduates move directly into the profession as teachers or performers, while others opt for advanced training in graduate programs or internships with professional organizations. A number of our alumi have used their undergraduate training as a foundation for other professions, including medicine and law.

The Department of Music awards Bachelor of Music degrees with concentrations in six areas: (1) Choral/General Music Education, (2) Composition, (3) Instrumental/General Music Education, (4) Instrumental Performance, (5) Jazz Studies, and (6) Vocal Performance. Considering a double major? The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is specifically designed for students who want intensive training in music while exploring other areas of academic study, allowing them to graduate with two degrees within four years.

Minor in Music is designed for students who want to study music while working toward a degree in another field, while the Certificate in Jazz Studies and Certificate in Musical Theatre give students opportunities to enhance their undergraduate study with specialized instruction.
