Bachelor of Musical Arts
The Bachelor of Musical Arts degree is designed for students who wish to focus in-depth
in music studies and create a formal connection with an area of study outside of music.
A unique trait of this program is the intentional pairing of a musical area of concentration
with a non-music area, determined in consultation with faculty advisors and formalized in

At the end of the sophomore year, students submit their degree plan
for approval by the music faculty at the time of their interview.
