Bachelor of Arts in Music
Our Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is designed with flexibility in mind. Not only can the BA in Music be accelerated and completed in 3 years, it contains two distinct tracks that allow you to take on a secondary major outside of music OR concentrate your degree work in Music Technology. No matter what, you will enjoy all the benefits of a music degree including private lessons and ensembles while exploring areas of specialized interest as well as studies outside of music.
Customize your curriculum to target your own personal interests and align your studies with your desired outcomes. While Music Technology is an official concentration within the BA, you have the ability to craft your own specialized music focus with your Student Success Coach.
