Bachelor of Music
The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree program is the principal undergraduate program in music, and nearly all of the
undergraduate musicians are enrolled in it. It requires students to supplement their music studies with a prescribed
number of courses in the Liberal Arts Department.
The B.M. degree program normally requires four y ears to complete. The minimum residency is two y ears for
qualified and approved transfer students (three y ears for Voice majors). All requirements for the degree must be
completed within seven y ears of a students original enrollment in the B.M. program. The curriculum outlines give
the required distribution of credits for the B.M. degree.
