As part of a liberal arts institution, the Department of Music seeks to provide opportunities not only for music majors to develop their skills, but also for all students who desire to enrich their education through the study of music. The Music Department is part of the Division of Fine Arts.

Students majoring in music have the advantage of a strong music major within a liberal arts setting. Students with an emphasis in music education are prepared to teach music in the elementary and secondary schools. Other emphases in music train people to use their gifts as performers, composers and as private studio teachers and for advanced study in performance, theory and literature. Music majors also may prepare for careers in music technology and music ministry.

For any student wishing to participate in music, regardless of major, there are many opportunities through ensembles, studio instruction and other coursework designed to enhance the liberal arts education in a Christian setting. All ensemble courses carry regular University credit and most require an audition or permission of the instructor for enrollment. You may find information in Course Descriptions and more extensive detail in the pages of the various activities.
