Overview

Students in the undergraduate music program receive a comprehensive musical background that includes cultural knowledge through the general education program, individual performance, ensemble performance, scholarly studies in music theory and history/literature; and where applicable, teacher education courses. The intent is to develop skilled and informed musicians, able scholars, and excellent and enthusiastic teachers. 

The Bachelor of Music prepares students for professional careers and advanced graduate study in music performance and music education. The Bachelor of Arts consists of fundamental music courses, a liberal arts curriculum and a minor. It is designed for students who wish to specialize in music within a liberal arts curriculum and may serve as the foundation for advanced studies in music.

A full calendar of concerts and recitals by guest artists, faculty and students offers an excellent and diverse program of cultural events for the enjoyment of the University community and residents of the metropolitan area.
