Bachelor of Arts in Music (Music Technology)

The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree includes three separate program options: a concentration in Music Technology, a General concentration with an Instrumentalist track, and a General concentration with a Vocalist track. Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree will select one of these three programs of study, depending on their interests and primary applied area.

Music Technology Concentration

The Music Technology concentration of the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree focuses on creativity and innovation in the fields of electronic music, audio engineering, music production, and composition. The program provides a multi-faceted foundation in music technology, professionally relevant musicianship studies, and a diverse array of music performance courses that can be chosen according to a student's interests and abilities.

Admission (Music Technology Concentration)

A performance audition is not required for admission to the Bachelor of Arts in Music (Music Technology) degree program; instead, prospective/continuing student applicants must submit a personal statement describing their interest in music technology and/or a sample of their original work as a music technologist. Prospective student applicants with performance skill may also complete a performance audition for music scholarship consideration.

Recital/Concert Attendance (Music Technology Concentration)

Students in the Music Technology concentration of the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree must pass MUS 269 Recital/Concert Attendance one time only.

Minimum Grade for MUS Courses in Major

All Bachelor of Arts degree candidates must receive a grade of “C” or better for any MUS course in order for it to be counted toward their music degree requirements.
