B.A. in Music

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Music from Colorado State University allows students to study music within a larger context of a liberal education.

In comparison to the curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Music (B.M.), less emphasis is placed on studies specifically in music, with greater flexibility for studies in a field outside of music.

In lieu of a larger number of credits in music as required for the B.M, the B.A. in Music from Colorado State University student completes a 21-credit option in an area outside of music. In addition, completion of a major paper or capstone recital (half recital) is required during the senior year.
