2023-2024 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Music: Instrumental Concentration, BA


The Bachelor of Arts degree in Music: Instrumental Concentration requires 48 units, and is designed with flexibility to encourage the pursuit of a double-major. For example, unless otherwise fulfilled, there are four courses (up to 8 units) in the curriculum which also can be used to satisfy core requirements (i.e. 4-CU for Arts/Humanities, 3-CU for Identity, Power and Equity in the United States, and 1 CU for “Engaged Learning”). In addition, students with a modest background in music are often able to free up curricular room by waiving fundamentals courses through exams (i.e. MUSIC 100 & 105).

Ensembles


Take ONE unit in foundational ensembles, chosen from the following. MUSIC 230 is preferred.

Upper-division Courses


The following upper-division courses are required of all majors.

Music History and Culture


All majors take one from each of the following groups, one of which must have the Writing in the Discipline (WID) designation. 

Music Electives


Take at least two units of music electives: all lower- and upper- division MUSIC courses qualify once the music core is fulfilled
