Overview

The Music program at Henderson State University is large enough to provide great opportunities for ensemble participation, including membership in the Showband of Arkansas®, yet small enough to offer the individual attention you will need to succeed.

As a Reddie musician, you can choose a course of study that fits your own career goals. Our degrees include:

Bachelor of Music degree in instrumental, keyboard, or vocal education. This plan includes a professional education component in preparation for teacher licensure and certification.
Bachelor of Arts degree. This plan includes the study of music as part of a broader, liberal arts perspective, including significant coursework in a minor field.

With an option to pursue studies as a music minor, and ample opportunity to perform in one or more band or choir ensembles, there is a place for you in the Department of Music.
