B.A. in Music
The bachelor of arts degree with a major in music is designed for students who wish to pursue studies in theory/composition or an individualized program of study in musicology, church music, music therapy, music technology, or other areas. It includes the general education requirements, the music core, and additional courses in music and other fields. In the individual concentration, students may specialize in one area of music by taking music courses as electives, or they may pursue a broader program by including electives in other fields. Both concentrations include a senior project as a capstone experience.
