We are a growing department that provides students with a variety of specialized B.A. programs which include Music, Electronic Music and Media, Performance, Composition, Conducting, Musicology, and Theory. Our programs offer not only a high level of instruction, but a unique degree of faculty attention and guidance. We also offer a music minor.

The Music Department offers coursework in the rhythmic, harmonic, melodic, and structural aspects of Western music, its notation and composition. Courses are also available in the music of various world cultures including American Music, Music of the Jewish People, and Music and Society in Latin America. This spring, we are offering Music Since 1900: Art and the Popular, Orchestration, Analysis and Synthesis: The Performer's World, and Form and Analysis of Tonal Music.
