Music, B.A. ~ Overview

We help prepare you for careers as performing artists, recording technicians, and music teachers. Our goal is to provide you with music and performing arts skills and knowledge for use in a rapidly changing technological world.

Our comprehensive program addresses the complex issues of performing artists and their relationship to other arts. You will learn fundamental skills of listening, recording, expressing, interpreting, and relating sound and movement to the social environment. Importantly, our MPA program develops essential workplace qualities of pluralism, teamwork, collaboration, flexibility, and respect for others' ideas and personal expressions.
