• The Department features small class sizes and well-equipped classrooms and studios. Music students are part of the College of Arts and Letters, which includes 20 departments in the arts, humanities and social sciences. The requirements of the College of Arts and Letters, together with the specific requirements of the music major, form a liberal arts curriculum that is thorough yet broad in scope..
  • Arts and Letters students from every major succeed in business, graduate or professional school, or full-time service. Learn more about the career outcomes of all of our graduates, including Music majors.
  • The Department of Music offers music majors a choice between two concentrations: Theory/History or Performance.
  • The two concentrations overlap significantly: for example, students in the Performance Concentration must complete a comprehensive sequence of courses in music theory and history, and students in the Theory/History concentration are encouraged, although not required, to take lessons on an instrument or in voice.
  • Each of the two concentrations also offers an Honors option for outstanding students intending to pursue graduate study in music after graduation. Acceptance into the Honors track is by invitation of the faculty during the spring semester of the sophomore year.
