This special options degree program provides the opportunity to combine any degree in the College of Arts and Sciences with advanced studies in music performance or music composition-studies that will be taken primarily in the Setnor School of Music. To be admitted to the special options degree program, students in the College of Arts and Sciences apply through the Department of Art and Music Histories before the beginning of the sophomore year. Prospective students for the music performance and music composition degree options must meet admissions requirements administered by the Setnor School of Music.
The degree awarded after completing undergraduate studies is a B.A. in the arts and sciences major with the supplementary designation, “with advanced studies in music performance/composition” (depending on the particular degree option). The degree is singly awarded by the College of Arts and Sciences. Completion of the major does not result in any professional or artistic certification by the Setnor School of Music or the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
