BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH A MAJOR IN MUSIC
The Bachelor of Arts allows the student with a strong interest in music the opportunity to explore various musical pursuits within the general liberal arts program of the College. Through this type of broadly-based music curriculum, a student may be drawn to further studies or discover career opportunities in such fields as music publishing, manufacturing, arts management, instrument design and restoration, library work, recording, or radio and television. Instruction in a performing medium and participation in solo performance and in ensembles are important components of the B.A. music major. In addition to fulfilling the general requirements for the B.A. degree described in the section on Degree Programs, B.A. music majors must complete the following:
Major:
- A minimum of 11 course credits in Music, which include
- MUS 110, 210, 310, 343, 346, 321, 322, and 323;
- one-and-one-half course credits in Solo Performance courses (selected from 731-793), of which one course credit must be in one medium; and
- one-and-one-half course credits in Music Ensembles (711-719), of which one course credit must be earned in one ensemble;
- passing the Piano Proficiency Requirement; and
- completion of a senior project.
At least half of the Solo Performance and half of the Ensemble credits must be earned in the junior and senior years. FAA 701 (Music Performance Seminar) must be taken along with every Solo Performance course. After a student has earned more than one course credit in the continuing study of the same instrument, he or she may count the additional credits toward the fulfillment of the general B.A. requirement for a minimum of nine courses numbered in the 300s or 400s.
All senior music majors will complete a senior project. There are three categories from which to choose: [1] recital (half or full); [2] student teaching; [3] paper/project. Students choosing recital will register for the appropriate number (MUS 798 or 799); students choosing teaching will be completing the EDU 450-460-470 sequence; and students choosing the paper/project will register for MUS 485 (half or full credit). Students may choose more than one of these options if they wish.
