Music Education

Description

In addition to the traditional careers in music performance and teaching, many other options are available to music graduates. Careful coordination of nonmusic courses with the requirements of a music degree can lead to entry into the music industry (music publishing, instrument and equipment merchandising,
advertising, recording, electronic music, computer graphics and more).

Companies often seek graduates in the arts for training in personnel management. More and more, students are using their interest in and love of music to earn music degrees that serve as preprofessional programs for entry into medical school, dentistry, law, divinity or other professional schools.

Degree options:

• Bachelor of Music
• Bachelor of Arts
• Bachelor of Music Education
• Dual Degrees
