The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree provides the study of music within the context of a liberal arts framework. The music content allows students to develop their musicianship skills, while the program grants the flexibility to choose elective courses within an area of interest either within the Department of Music or in another field of study.  This program would be an attractive option for students who wish to pursue a double major at Eastern Illinois University or would also provide a curricular platform for students who wish to prepare for graduate work in areas such as music theory, music history, music composition, music therapy, ethnomusicology, and arts administration.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music offers two concentrations for students to choose from:

The Open Studies Concentration is intended for those students who wish to further their study of music at the university level, but are yet undecided on their future career goals.  This concentration will allow students the flexibility of combining their music studies with coursework in areas of broader interest.  Other disciplines might include:

  • Music & business – leading to professions in music management & marketing
  • Music & journalism/English/or history – leading to professions with music-related publications. 

The Music Theory and Composition Concentration offers students interested in composition another avenue for studies that allows greater flexibility than the current B.Mus: Performance Option: Composition Concentration.  Students in this composition may easily combine interests in music theory, composition, and technology by making use of the number of elective hours in the concentration.
