Bachelor in General Studies in Music

The Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies meets the needs of students pursuing the study of music within a liberal arts context. Like other students within the Music Department, General Studies students build musical foundations in performance, musicianship, theory, and music history. Beyond this core musical study, however, General Studies students have increased opportunities to pursue studies within other disciplines. The goal of the General Studies B.A. degree is to produce well-rounded, critical thinkers who are prepared for lives as musicians and for graduate study, professional careers, or teaching opportunities.

The College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences advances knowledge and learning in established academic disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and performing arts. It provides introductory and advanced course work in more than 20 degree and certificate programs.
