DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Music

Bachelor of Arts in Music (Performance Concentration)

Minor in Music


Equally strong in the academic and performance study of music, our program is one of the finest to be found in a liberal arts setting. We offer an excellent alternative to a conservatory and a more individualized program of study than can be found at larger institutions. The department offers music majors, minors, and non-majors a wide range of curriculum choices in four areas: performance, history, theory and composition. All Dickinson students may study directly with our faculty in small classes, one-on-one lessons, and a variety of performing ensembles.
