• The music department works with students to create individualized paths through the major.
  • We encourage students to speak with department faculty as early as possible to develop their personal path. 
  • Application to the major normally takes place in the second semester of sophomore year, and must be completed before senior year.
  • At the time of acceptance into the major, students discuss with their department advisor a plan for exploring each of the five ways of knowing music, with a focus on one or more that may involve preparation for an honors thesis.
