The Bachelor of Arts in Music addresses the needs of students desiring a broad-based approach to music in the context of a liberal arts education. Through music electives, the Senior Project, the Music Internship, and through the cognate, which can either be a traditional minor or a collection of courses decided upon by advisor and advisee, the Bachelor of Arts in Music major can pursue interests in performance, music composition, music business, church music, and music criticism.

While the Bachelor of Arts in Music accommodates a variety of musical and professional interests, the degree is not intended to substitute for a professional degree in music. Inquiry, rather than professional credentialing, defines the Bachelor of Arts in Music.
