The bachelor of arts in music and bachelor of science in music are non-performance degrees that offer a broad liberal arts education with a major in music.
The Bienen School of Music offers the BAMus and BSMus degrees in:
Music Studies (with optional concentrations in composition, musicology, music cognition, music education, and music theory)
Ad Hoc
Distribution and foreign language requirements for the bachelor of arts in music are essentially identical to those for the BA in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. In addition to core courses in music, students may choose a major concentration in one of the existing academic music programs in composition, musicology, music cognition, music education, or music theory. Alternatively, students may petition for an ad hoc concentration that combines more than one area in their concentration, such as cross-cultural musicology, music and film, or web design and technology for music.
The bachelor of science in music degree is a non-admitting degree identical to the bachelor of arts in music degree, with the exception that the foreign language requirement is replaced by electives.
