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

The bachelor of music (B.Mus.) program offers four areas of concentration: performance, jazz studies, composition, and music education. Students are admitted specifically to one of these four areas. Any change in concentration must be made with the approval of the department. All students in the bachelor of music program must pass a piano proficiency examination prior to graduation (students in the music education concentration are required to pass the piano proficiency examination as part of acceptance into the Music Education Professional Sequence at the end of the second year of study).

The course 07:701:100 Music Assembly must be successfully completed in each semester of full-time enrollment with the exception of the semester in which music education majors are enrolled in Clinical Practice II (student teaching). Students who earn an unsatisfactory grade in Music Assembly in any semester will not be allowed to schedule a senior recital or register for Clinical Practice II. All bachelor of music students are also expected to perform in Music Assembly at least once a year after the first year.

Students in the music education concentration must be complete all degree requirements before the Clinical Practice II semester. In addition, students may not be registered for any other courses during the semester in which they participate in Clinical Practice II unless preapproved by the coordinator of field placements.
