How large is the Department of Music?
We are a program of approximately 30 majors and 30 minors. Over 500 university students, majors and non-majors, participate in our program, either in courses, private music lessons, or our performing groups. Our faculty numbers 23 full-time and 36 part-time and adjunct instructors. There are 8 professional staff members.

Can I double major in music and another field?
Yes. Through the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree, students can study music and still have enough flexibility in their program of study to earn both a music degree and a second Bachelor degree in 4 years.

Can I participate in private lessons or performing groups even if I don't major in music?
Yes. Our performing ensembles are open to all University students. Ensemble auditions are held during the first two weeks of school. Sign up in the student lounge of the 560 Music Center for an audition time. Click here to view audition times and requirements. A large percentage of the members in our ensembles do not major in music. Private lessons are available in all instruments either for academic credit or for non-matriculated students.
