Bachelor of Music Double Major
Bachelor’s candidates who wish to apply for a double major, combining performance with Music History or Theoretical Studies, may do so at the end of their second year. Those wishing to combine two performance areas (or a performance area and Composition), may apply to do so at the end of their first year. The double major requires approval of both department chairs, the academic advisor, and the Provost. Students who receive permission to pursue the double major must be in residence for five full-time years; they will be charged additional tuition for such programs.
* Contemporary Improvisation and Jazz Studies programs are offered through Jazz and Improvisation department. First-year students may enter the department without declaring a major, but are expected to do so at the end of the first year.
