Program Description

Do you love music but want to pursue a career in another field? SBU's unique Bachelor of Arts in Music degree can be added to any degree outside of the area of music as a second degree. This allows you to receive a music degree and quality music training while concentrating on career preparation in a non-related field.

As a music student, you will complete a core of 27 credit hours of music classes including theory, piano, and conducting, and will participate in one or more music ensembles. You will have the opportunity to fine-tune your music skills and knowledge, learning from highly qualified faculty who are all accomplished musicians.

This unique and flexible music degree program opens the door to countless employment opportunities based on the combination of this degree with whichever other degree you choose!

If you are interested in a career in music and plan to pursue graduate studies in music, SBU's Bachelor of Science in Music degree is a great fit for you.

This flexible music program allows you to combine the study of music with a large number of elective courses based on your own unique interests and gifts. Students primarily use this degree as preparation for graduate school and further study as they pursue a variety of music career paths.

Liberal arts schools provide both breadth and depth. Breadth is offered across the curriculum with coursework in the arts, sciences, and humanities, with the goal of preparing students for life. Depth is provided through the major, which focuses on preparation for work in a specific field. In a Christian liberal arts education, the Christian lens is the primary lens for learning. Breadth and depth in a Christian liberal arts setting also mean a focus on critical thinking so that non-Christian perspectives are examined (but not endorsed) and students are prepared to serve in secular careers and in service to Christ.
