Training
•Bullet: The BA General concentration provides a nonperformance music degree within a broad liberal-arts plan, with core study in musicianship, theory, and history plus music electives chosen across Bienen's offerings.
•Bullet: The catalog requires 45 total units and gives the General path freedom to use its concentration coursework across music rather than locking students into one subfield.
Performance & Productions
•Bullet: Even without a performance major or private lessons built into the degree, students study in a school that supports 17 major ensembles and presents more than 400 concerts and events annually.
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: Applicants enter the general BA Music degree and declare a concentration after enrollment, exploration of courses, and consultation with faculty and Music Student Affairs. That structure suits students who want music depth with substantial room for another academic interest.
