Undergraduate Composition Program
In addition to the Mus.B., its performance-intensive degree, the Department of Music also offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music--a more general music degree program that allows undergraduate students the flexibility of a traditionally broad liberal education, while giving substantial exposure to academic and performance-related musical topics. Students who select the Bachelor of Arts program may adopt one of several B.A. 'advisement tracks': model curriculums that prepare the student to produce a significant senior B.A. thesis in a particular area of musical interest. The pool of currently available tracks includes music history, music theory, jazz, performance, music management and criticism, music and literature, music and aesthetics, composition and music technology.
The suggested composition advisement track follows:
| MUS 300 | American Classical Music Since 1900 | |
| MUS 414 | Music of the 20th Century | |
| MUS 407SEM | Composition Seminar | |
| MUS 407 | Private Composition Study | |
| MUS 401 | Introduction to Electronic Music 1 |
| The music technology track of the B.A. degree recommends the following courses: |
| MUS 404 | Acoustics, Audio and Computer Systems | |
| MUS 401 | Introduction to Electronic Music 1 | |
| MUS 402 | Introduction to Electronic Music 2 | |
| MUS 418 | Interactive Music Systems |
|
To discuss the B.A. in Music with emphasis in music technology, you should contact Prof. Cort Lippe. General questions regarding programs and admissions can be directed to Dr. Susan Clark Manns, Director of Student Programs. The Composition faculty may also accept for study students interested in learning more about composition, but who intend to major elsewhere, either within the Music Department or outside of it. Such study is arranged on a case-by-case basis, and is by permission of instructor only. |
