BA/BS in Music

The Music Program is among the larger programs on campus and offers many concentrations. These include classical composition and performance, jazz, electronic music, the history and cultures of music, and music theory. Its faculty maintain active professional careers beyond the college. Students from other majors are welcome in music courses and ensembles, and many of the most engaged participants study something else. The page lists curriculum, faculty, facilities, ensembles and lessons, and further opportunities for students, including private lessons with faculty. The program is distinct from the college's Conservatory of Music. The Conservatory emphasizes classical performance and composition, requires a second major and an audition, and runs as a five-year double-degree course, though the two groups share many performance occasions.
