Music — (B.A., B.S.)
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in applied music emphasize a broad liberal arts education, with fewer than half of the credits in music and the remainder outside of music. Students who are pursuing majors in two or more fields typically select the B.A. or B.S. major.
The B.A. and the B.S. degrees require additional humanities and social science requirements. Furthermore, the B.A. requires two years of college-level foreign language and the B.S. requires more math or science, an academic minor, an 18 credit area of emphasis or a second major is required.
