We welcome students from throughout the university community to join our ensembles, take private lessons, enroll in music history and theory courses, and participate in our performances. The study of music is both a way of thought and way of being; these inform one another and further support a student’s development as a liberally educated individual.

Toward these ends, we offer a Bachelor of Arts degree including general studies in music and the liberal arts, and a Bachelor of Arts with Performance Certificate containing concentrations in performance (instrumental, vocal, or composition). Both degrees study music in the context of the liberal arts. The Bachelor of Arts in Music is ideal for students who want to study music and pursue either a double major or multiple minor degrees; the Bachelor of Arts in Music with Performance Certificate provides a foundation for students to pursue additional music study after graduation.
