BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH MUSIC MAJOR
The BA with a major in Music offers the student a good liberal arts background with some
specialization in music. The courses in theory and history of music are designed to provide
fundamental knowledge of the subjects, while the elective courses allow the student to pursue
other interests in music; for example, the Faculty of Music's courses in elementary music
education are available to students in the Music major program.

    The program consists of 15 credits and is normally completed in three
years. A minor or second major from the Faculty of Arts and Science may be chosen in
consultation with that Faculty. While academic counselling is always available from faculty
members, the student makes the final choice in the selection of elective courses to satisfy the
requirements for the degree.
