- BM in performance, 36 credits

- BM in composition, 12 credits
- BM in music education, 18 credits
- BM in performing arts management, 18 credits
- BA in music, 12 credits

The BS in Performing Arts Management degree does not require applied lessons, and the BS in Sound Recording Technology, non-performance track, degree does not require applied lessons.
Except performance majors, students may enroll in additional applied credits, which will count towards music electives.
Modern Language Option
If a music student wishes to study a modern language for a three-course sequence (12 credits), one quarter of language study (4 credits) may be used to replace a course requirement in Arts and Literature, Philosophical Inquiry, or Religious Dimensions. The remaining two quarters of language (8 credits) will be applied towards free electives. This option does not apply to students in the BM-Performance, vocal concentration.
