Major Requirements
The music major offers three areas of concentrated study: Performance, Music Theory and Composition, and Music History. Each of the concentrations includes a shared core curriculum. The core curriculum provides music majors with foundational skills, knowledge of the discipline of music, and introduces students to the process of analytical and creative thinking.
Music majors are encouraged to declare their concentration after they have successfully completed one course in Music Theory, one course in Music History, and one semester of Applied Music. Once music majors have declared their concentration, they complete 7 required core units and 3 additional units within their concentration.
