Overview

In our Music Major students receive a foundation in solid traditional training as well as exposure to advanced music technology and world music cultures.

Our curriculum is designed with maximum flexibility, allowing students of California State University San Marcos to create their own courses of study, with advisement by a faculty mentor.

Music majors may emphasize one of several areas, which include the following: Performance, Music technology (music technology students present their work through digital media or on the web), Composition, World music, or a combination of these.

After completing a core of lower-division courses, students focus on their preferences in upper-division work.

Students create a senior capstone project of their own design that highlights the skills learned in the major.
