Program offered is a Bachelor.

The major in Music develops basic musical skills expected of any serious musician. It will prepare students for advanced work in performance, composition, musicology, theory, music librarianship, church music, arts administration, music sales and publishing, music therapy, college and private teaching, and graduate study. The bachelor of arts with a major in music may be sufficient for initial positions in some of these areas. The Music major may be effectively combined with other majors, minors, or special combinations of courses, such as languages, literatures, and cultures; business administration; theatre and dance; and media and communication, to enhance the opportunities for specific employment or graduate programs. On its own terms, the music program is designed to provide students with a broad and comprehensive background in music, assuring the continuation of learning and achievement, whether in a formal graduate program or not. All of the courses required for the minor are also part of the major.

Students majoring in Music require preparation in three distinct areas of study: music theory/composition, music history, and performance. In music theory/composition courses, students develop an understanding of the logical relations that exist between notes in melodies, counterpoint, chords, and harmonic progressions. Students explore the repertoire of various historical periods and genres as well as the cultural context that lead to their development in music history. The focus of applied music is the growth of technical and interpretive skills on a specific instrument, including voice.
