Music BA is a truly unique and really customizable degree that prepares you for a career in music or in any number of 21st century professions. This is an interdisciplinary degree that gives you the chance to explore music from exciting and diverse perspectives including a:

Technology and Production Perspective
Business and Industry Perspective
Health & Wellness Perspective
Southwest Borderlands Perspective
Performer’s Perspective
Music Theorist’s Perspective

and many others. These are not inflexible and rigid degree paths but, rather, are examples of themes or areas of specialism that you have the opportunity to explore. You will work with your academic advisor and faculty mentor to devise a truly customized plan of study that connects a strong musical core to your chosen Perspective(s), courses from inside and outside of music, your minor, and potential second degrees or majors.
