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.
