B.A. in Music
(HEGIS 1005)
Dowling’s School of Arts and Sciences degree programs are
constructed upon a well-rounded core curriculum of arts and humanities,
natural science, math, and social sciences. These are the classic building
blocks that ensure career versatility in an ever-changing world. The music
program emphasizes two areas: music theory and the history of musical
literature. Students may also participate in a number of student musical
groups.
Music majors are required to participate, without credit, in an
instrumental or vocal ensemble each semester. Those whose interests are
in string, wind, or percussion instruments are required to participate in an
appropriate instrumental ensemble. Students whose interests are in vocal
or keyboard music are required to participate in the choir.
Career Outcomes for Music Majors
Your Dowling music degree prepares you for diverse careers in music,
education, and the arts. Exciting career options include choral director,
singer, composer, music arranger, music therapist, music librarian, and a
wide variety of positions in the music industry.
