Description
The Bachelor of Arts in Music offers a well-rounded education designed for students who want to explore music’s role as cultural heritage and social behavior, while developing fundamental musicianship and critical thinking skills. Rooted in a liberal arts tradition, the curriculum balances performance, composition, musicology, music theory, and music recording and production, allowing students to investigate various musical cultures and create their own original works. All students take the same core courses and then complete more specialized coursework in one of four tracks: Performance; History, Theory, Ethnography, Criticism (HiTEC); Jazz and American Music Studies; or Music Business, Recording, and Production.
