Overview

The Brigham Young University's School of Music offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree for students who desire rigorous music training infused with studies in the liberal arts. Students who pursue this degree will study on the instrument or voice type they audition on and will participate in ensembles and chamber groups. In addition to coursework in music theory and music history, students will have the opportunity to enroll in a variety of music courses of their own choice.

Study in the Bachelor of Arts also provides ample opportunity to take coursework from other colleges and departments throughout the university that can result in the completion of a minor. This degree is ideal for students wanting a diverse and broad music degree. BA graduates can qualify for post baccalaureate or graduate musical studies elsewhere in fields such as arts management, ethnomusicology, music therapy, as well as the School of Music’s MA in musicology program.

Career

The School of Music leads its students toward careers in performance, studio teaching, music education, media music production, recording and sound technology, arts management, music journalism, composition, and other music-related professions. Because the music curriculum is rigorous, it is also an excellent pre-professional course of study for those interested in fields as diverse as law, business, library science, or medicine. Whatever degrees one obtains, however, an education in music pertains not only to earning a living through the art but also using the art to enhance one’s satisfaction and joy in living.
