Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of Music offers five baccalaureate degree programs as well as cultural enrichment for all students. On the graduate level, concentrations lead to the Master of Arts in music education, music theory- literature, piano pedagogy, and music performance.
Programs are flexible to meet the needs of individual students.
The primary objectives are to improve performance and musicianship, teaching skills, and analytical and research skills. The department collaborates with other University departments in dance, radio, television, and theatre. A marketing minor is also available to students interested in music-related businesses. The Frederick M. Alexander Music Building, completed in 1980, features the latest in acoustical and sound isolation techniques. It contains three large rehearsal rooms for band, choir, and orchestra, a 150-seat recital hall, an organ teaching and recital facility, an electronic music studio, a computer laboratory, and 65 individual practice rooms.
