Overview

Key Facts

The Music, Vocal Education program of Hope College is a liberal arts degree which provides the student with basic professional training in music while offering a large number of elective choices, both music and non-music. This degree is the best choice for a student who is planning a second major outside of music, or desires a combination of study areas that do not merge well with any of the Bachelor of Music curricula. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts degree with a Major in Music work closely with their advisors to design a program that matches their individual goals and interests.

Graduates of the Department of Music have gone on to careers as:

Teachers at major universities

Hornist in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra
