See Music in the Programs of Study for Liberal Arts Students section for bachelor of arts (B.A.) program information.

The bachelor of music (B.Mus.) program offers three areas of concentration: performance, jazz studies, and music education. Students are admitted specifically to one of these three areas. Any change must be made with the approval of the department. All students in the bachelor of music program must pass a piano proficiency examination no later than the spring term of the junior year, or upon completion of course sequences 07:701:159-160 and 259-260 (students in the music education concentration must pass the piano proficiency examination prior to the beginning of the term in which they fulfill the student teaching requirement). The course 07:701:100 Music Assembly must be passed during each term of enrollment; if a student has an Unsatisfactory grade in any term, he or she will not be allowed to schedule a senior recital or student teaching. Students are also expected to perform in Music Assembly at least once a year after the first year.
