B.A. Music | For Current Students
Customize Your Music Degree to Match Your Passions
The B.A. in General Studies offers a flexible path for students who want to study music while exploring other academic interests. You’ll build a strong foundation in musicianship, theory, performance, and music history — just like other music majors — but with the added freedom to take courses in areas like education, business, science, or the arts. This option is ideal for students who want to double major, prepare for graduate school, or design a unique career path that combines music with other fields. It’s all about becoming a well-rounded, creative thinker ready for whatever comes next.
