Music is a vibrant, multifaceted art form that offers deep fulfillment through both study and performance. Build a foundation for careers in elementary education, media, music therapy, or business by combining musical studies with a comprehensive humanities education. Those interested in Music as a liberal arts discipline, or who don't qualify for the School of Music's specialized admissions, can opt for a Bachelor of Arts with a Major, Minor, or Honours in Music. The curriculum parallels the Bachelor of Music program but excludes private instrumental or vocal training.
