The Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art offers traditional conservatory-based performance degrees, the bachelor of music in orchestral instruments, voice, piano, and musical theatre, as well as undergraduate degrees in composition. 

Students pursuing a B.M. degree can also consider completing teacher certification, to allow for multiple career options. A new pre-professional emphasis in conducting, for students in B.M. programs interested in pursuing graduate degrees in conducting, is being launched this academic year. The departments also offer an innovative Bachelor of Arts degree with three emphases: general, performance, and music history and literature. The B.A. can be combined with minors and often even double majors in many disciplines, including Business. Our dual degree program in Music and Business allows students to study both disciplines at an advanced level.  

The B.M. and B.A. degrees include a strong grounding in the liberal arts and the Catholic intellectual tradition. The School also encourages eligible students to be active in the Honors Program. Music students are eligible to complete the liberal studies track in the Honors Program; as part of this track, they can pursue honors courses designed specifically for music students, such as the honors version of History of Music I.
