 Return to: Academic Programs
Students pursuing a Music Major select an emphasis in either performance or musical arts. Course requirements (see below) are specific for performance majors while the musical arts track allows for more flexibility with elective choices in theory and history coursework. The performance emphasis requires the ability to develop significant repertoire and culminates in a senior recital; musical arts culminates in an interdisciplinary senior project. Students majoring in music develop career paths in performance, teaching, music therapy, film/video, recording arts, arts management, and a variety of entrepreneurial pursuits.
