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 (see Index. 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 (selected from 711-720), of which one course credit must be earned in one ensemble;
- Passing the Piano Proficiency Requirement (see below); 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 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 must complete a senior project. There are three categories from which to choose: recital (MUS 798 or 799); student teaching (EDU 450-460-470-471); paper/project (MUS 485). Students may choose more than one of these options if they wish.
Minor: A minimum of six course credits in Music which include MUS 110, 210, 310, and at least three additional courses in Music at the 200 level or above, selected in consultation with and approval by the Department.
