BA in Music

San Jose State University

The Bachelor of Arts in Music, offered by the School of Music , is designed for the student who seeks a liberal arts education with a major in music. The degree can be tailored to each student. A senior project is required. An entrance audition is required. All students must complete the core classes and then select electives from at least two categories in consultation with the BA Music Advisor, and directed toward a specific Capstone project (MUSC 182 ). Four lower-division semesters of applied lessons are required for freshmen and sophomore majors. Ensemble participation is a co-requisite of applied lessons at all times.
