The Bachelor of Arts in Music is one of over thirty majors offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. The degree is intended to enable students to pursue music study and performance in the context of the liberal arts, fully embracing the music resources of the Conservatory of Music, while also taking advantage of the many strengths of the broader college. All music coursework is taught through the Conservatory of Music along with a core of General Education, upper-division, and elective courses from the Arts and Sciences.

Students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree should visit the Conservatory Academic Office (Armerding 217) to complete an assessment of piano proficiency, a primary instrument evaluation, and a Music Fundamentals Test.

Note: A maximum of 52 hours in music courses (MUCS, MUEP, MUIP, MUMS, MUTC) may be applied toward the 124 needed for graduation.
