The  Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music Department offers course work and performing opportunities in Western classical music and jazz at the undergraduate level. Students from all disciplines may participate in music performance ensembles and courses of musical study.
The one restriction is that the Sense of Music, MUS 1111A, is the prerequisite to music history courses. A fundamental guideline for all students pursuing the minor in music is that they should have a healthy balance between academic courses (history, theory, style analysis) and performance courses (chamber ensembles, jazz ensemble, applied music lessons).
The study of music and the experience of music should reinforce each other. In this same light, music theory courses (harmony) place an emphasis on writing music.
The Music Department strongly encourages its minors to extend and refine their performance abilities during their student years by enrolling in at least one performance-oriented course each term that they are students. This means that many music minors take more courses in music performance ensembles and lessons than they are allowed to apply toward their minor.
Facilities
The Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music is housed on the second floor of the Schottenstein Center. A Steinway grand piano resides in the Recital Room, and two other baby grand pianos plus five Baldwin upright pianos are available for practice.
Music Ensembles
A number of opportunities are available for undergraduate musicians at Yeshiva University. The  Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music  offers chamber music performance courses directed by faculty and the Yeshiva University Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dr. Bartholomew.
Yeshiva College performance ensembles present public concerts on campus each term. Chamber Music
Chamber Music Ensembles are one credit per term courses.
Dr. Levy and Dr. Bartholomew organize chamber groups of varying sizes and levels of ability to rehearse and perform classical music of all styles and eras. Any YU students who are interested in performing in a chamber ensemble should see Dr. Bartholomew (Schottenstein 213, 212.960.5353) for an audition.
Interested musicians should be able to read music. Rehearsals meet at a time mutually available to all members of each individual ensemble.
Jazz Ensemble
The Yeshiva University Jazz Ensemble is open to all YU students who may register for the course for one credit per term. An audition with Dr. Bartholomew, director of the Jazz Ensemble, is required.
The Jazz Ensemble rehearses Mondays, 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. In the two or three weeks immediately preceding concerts the Jazz ensemble often adds a second rehearsal per week.
The Jazz Ensemble normally presents two public concerts each year. For over 25 years the Jazz Ensemble has played only music ("charts") composed or arranged by Dr. Levy or Dr. Bartholomew.
Each work has been tailored to fit the Jazz Ensemble's annual change in instrumentation. For more information about the Music Department at Yeshiva College, please contact Professor Daniel Beliavsky at beliavsk@yu.edu 212.960.5400 ext.

Experimental Participation Sign-Up: SONA Welcome to the Department of Sociology at Yeshiva College.
The Sociology Department offers both a major and a minor in sociology, as well as a correlate minor in public health. A sociology degree is excellent preparation for graduate study or a career in law, criminal justice, social work, research, public administration, business, medicine, counseling, health care management or other service professions.
What Is Sociology? From the American Sociological Association:

"Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.
In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and application of knowledge. "Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time, it is a rapidly expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create programs.
Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and how social systems work." Mission Statement

The Sociology Department at Yeshiva College strives to provide students with rigorous and intellectually grounded understandings of the social and cultural world.
At its core, the sociological mission is rooted in social and cultural (including anthropological) theory and the scientific method. Sociology majors and other students taking our courses are given opportunities to develop theoretical and analytical skills to evaluate and conduct social research and analysis.
The Department is committed to using these tools to understand and address social problems and inequalities in global, institutional, cultural, and interpersonal social relations. Students are also encouraged to explore their own position in and relationship to society and culture.
The Department is dedicated to building sociological knowledge and skills that are applicable to a broad range of settings including the public and private sectors, and especially, in the pursuit of advanced academic and professional degrees. Our hope is that graduates will be well equipped to be engaged citizens in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and diverse world.
Program Student Learning Goals

Majors in sociology will be able to demonstrate conceptual and theoretical skills to sociological topics and questions. Majors in sociology will be able to apply methodological skills to sociological topics and questions.
