Music with Elective Studies in Pre-Medicine

The Bachelor of Arts in Music program is designed to provide students the opportunity to enrich their music studies with a greater number of non-music elective hours and less music-specific hours than their colleagues pursuing Bachelor of Music degrees. As such, the Bachelor of Arts in Music curriculum allows students to explore their academic and professional interests outside of music while pursuing a basic curricular track in musical studies.

The Bass School of Music faculty believes that all students graduating with a music degree from Â鶹´«Ã½ City University must be competent performers. Although Bachelor of Arts in Music students embark on a less extensive term of musical study than their Bachelor of Music peers, this degree incorporates a significant performance component.

The degree plan below shows the courses required for completion of a Bachelor of Arts in Music with Elective Studies in Pre-Medicine. The course sequence is a suggestion only, and each student will meet with his or her advisor to discuss the most appropriate sequence for that student.

All degrees require a minimum of 124 earned credit hours. Students must be enrolled in 12 credit hours to be considered a full-time student. Students must receive credit for six semesters of Music Assembly. Students must attain the required proficiency and performance levels as stated in the Undergraduate Catalog.
