You’ll integrate a broad, deep program of musical study within a classic liberal arts curriculum. The Music BA offers all the benefits of our Bachelor of Music degree—outstanding and dedicated faculty, extensive performing opportunities, and membership in an elite community of extraordinarily talented collegiate musicians.
Like all degree programs in the School of Music, the music BA features small classes with lots of one-on-one attention from faculty. You can explore a wide range of musical styles and genres while building your proficiency as a musician and performer. You’ll also gain the full value of a liberal education, developing strong skills in writing, research, critical thinking, and communication.
UNC's Bachelor of Arts in Music covers music theory, literature, and history, as well as performance and technical proficiency on an instrument or voice. You’ll also complete UNC’s liberal arts core, with a required 18-credit minor in a liberal arts subject of your choosing. The liberal arts core includes coursework in composition, mathematics, humanities, history, social sciences, physical sciences, and international studies.
