The Department of Music leads students to develop their musical skills, either as a complement to their college experience or as preparation for a career in music. Degree programs include:
Through a variety of course offerings, a multitude of resources and a highly skilled faculty, our students develop a strong background in the creation and appreciation of music. Students majoring in music may elect to add an additional concentration in arts management to their major. The department is proud of its current ensemble-in-residence, eighth blackbird.
Students may participate in choral and instrumental ensembles as well as private music lessons through the department. Music majors and non-majors are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities. Private lessons require special registration procedures.
Students have an array of research and experiential learning opportunities, and they can share their work in recitals and various performance ensembles. Scholarships and other special programs are available.
