Bachelor of Music
Cornell offers two majors leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music: a major in Performance and a major in Music Education. The first is designed to emphasize the study of music performance within the framework of the liberal arts and is the first step in the extensive professional preparation in performance that leads to a concert career or to teaching applied music in a college, university, conservatory, or private studio. The second generally leads to the profession of pre-collegiate school music teaching. For students interested in fields such as music therapy, music ministry, or community music, a major in Music Education is strongly recommended by some graduate schools and required by others.
All candidates for the Bachelor of Music degree must satisfy the following requirements (specific requirements for each major follow the general degree requirements):
- A minimum of 32 course credits. Not more than two 100-level courses may be taken in the senior year without the permission of the Academic Standing Committee.
- A minimum of nine courses numbered in the 300s or 400s. After a student has earned more than one course credit in the continuing study of the same instrument, he or she may count the additional credits toward the fulfillment of this requirement.
- A minimum of ten courses, including ENG 111, selected from outside the Department of Music, of which at least three must be selected from those courses in this Catalogue or its supplements whose descriptions end with a parenthesis containing the word ``Humanities.''
- Music Theory: 110, 210, 310, 343, 346.
