The Music Department is a part of the School of Fine and Performing Arts and offers a large variety of liberal arts and professional courses to prospective students. We are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and the American Music Therapy Association.
The Department offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Music with concentrations in Performance, Music History and Literature, Music Theory and Composition, Jazz Studies, Contemporary Music Studies, and a Pre-Music Therapy track in preparation for the M.S. in Music Therapy degree program. A Music minor is also available.
Most courses are open to non-majors as well as majors, with the notable exception of Applied Music and some specialized courses. Students who sing or play an instrument can earn one credit per semester for participation in any of our performing ensembles -- Symphonic Band, College/Youth Symphony, Concert Choir, College-Community Chorale, Chamber Singers, Collegium Musicum, and Chamber Jazz Ensembles.
We invite you to explore all that our department has to offer.
