Students who are candidates for the bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree in the music program must satisfactorily complete music core requirements in addition to an area of concentration following a pathway in theories and histories, composition and music technology, performance, or music education. Admission to the music program requires proficiency in basic musicianship and theory skills. Candidates who do not meet entrance standards in one or more areas will be required to take appropriate remedial courses and demonstrate competency in order to continue.

All students majoring in music must specify a primary instrument and satisfy performance requirements on that instrument. All students must submit a video portfolio of at least two contrasting works demonstrating performance ability prior to declaring the major. Students wishing to declare performance as their concentration must formally audition for acceptance to the performance track. Upon admittance to the school, incoming first-year and transfer student music majors should contact the music program coordinator for information on placement exam and audition dates.
