ADVANTAGES
CONCENTRATIONS
Concentrations are completed within the standard four-year liberal arts music degree and focus on real-world application of your musical interests. You take classes that are specific to that field, and many of these classes focus primarily on how you will develop careers upon graduation.
JAZZ STUDIES
This performance-based program is designed to give you a complete understanding of jazz: its history, great performers, great arrangers, and relationship to other types of music. The curriculum includes jazz improvisation, arranging, theory, pedagogy, and performance.
MUSIC BUSINESS
A cooperative curriculum between the Music and Business departments, this concentration prepares you for any music business endeavor including private studio development, orchestral management, retail music sales, and professional contracting. Courses cover the basic components of the business degree such as accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship along with music-specific offerings.
MUSIC TECHNOLOGY & RECORDING
This concentration is built on the foundation that recording engineers with strong musical skills are more effective than those whose knowledge is purely technical. Within the music major, you'll be well-trained in all of the traditional areas of music: theory, history, performance, and critical-listening skills. You'll be given generous access to the recording facilities and ample opportunity for hands-on experience to practice what you have learned.
THEORY/COMPOSITION
With this concentration, you can choose the theory or composition path. The theory path gives you an analytical focus in upper-level theory courses. Composition allows you to build a portfolio of original works. Either way, you will perform in individual or group recitals.
