Introduction

The Bachelor of Music (BMus) program prepares students for a successful career in the arts. Students study in a creative and collaborative environment and can shape their education to their aspirations. The program offers a wide range of program choices, all grounded in essential training.

The BMus four-year program allows students to pursue a degree within the following concentrations: Performance, Composition, History, Education, and General Music.
