Music, B.S. (E, L)The Bachelor of Science with a major in music provides for the study of music within a liberal arts framework. It is recommended that students who enroll in this program exhibit a high level of performance proficiency, as well as the commitment to develop this proficiency to the highest levels. While the B.S. program is intended to have some scholarly freedom with regard to class choices, the music faculty strongly recommends developing a path of study that will purposely and fully prepare students for an ever changing and increasingly challenging market. It is recommended that B.S. students choose elective courses in consultation with their academic advisors that could include emphases, such as: Performance – Students focus on developing a high level of artistic performing abilities in their chosen area–instrument or voice. Composition - Students focus on developing a unique creative voice through the acquisition of skills essential to music composition in all genres. |
