BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE PROGRAMS

For students who want a more even balance between music and liberal arts studies, the Petrie School offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in music in cooperation with the College of Arts and Sciences. The degree is also attractive for students who want to combine music study with a second major or minor.
