Bachelor of Music
The B.Mus. degree allows you to focus primarily on music in a professional degree program that is founded upon principles of a liberal arts education.
You can major in performance, music education, theory, or composition. You can also pursue a jazz emphasis in performance or composition. About two thirds of your classes will be in music, including lessons, classes such as music theory and history, and ensembles, while non-music classes will make up the remaining third of your studies. As a result, you will earn a well-rounded education along with the highest quality musical instruction.
