Federal CIP: 50.0901 Music, General
The BA in Music, a general degree, provides the student with a foundation in musical studies while giving an opportunity to choose a track in a secondary area, integrating music with business, production and media communications, or other elective studies. Although an applied performance degree is not offered at Southern Wesleyan University, some BA in Music majors concentrate in performance by taking additional hours in applied areas of study, particularly in their freshman and sophomore years.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of every music major’s course of study, competence must be demonstrated in a knowledge and/or realization of performance, musicianship, composition, improvisation, music history, repertory, music technology, conducting, orchestration, instrumental methods, and analytical techniques. The student will synthesize many of the concepts studied in these subject areas in preparation for the culminating event of a senior recital.
