BA in Music - Musicology in Williamsburg United States | College of William and Mary

Wherever people exist, music follows - spanning continents and centuries. At W&M, you'll discover how to both make music and understand its role in human culture.
The Music Department provides a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. We approach music education through its interconnected disciplines:
Musicology explores music's connections to diverse areas, from history to the technical aspects of musical creation.
Our program draws students with varied interests. You might be a dedicated music scholar pursuing a major or minor. Perhaps you'll undertake independent research. Or maybe you simply want to experience the pleasure of performing and appreciating music.

Music enhances life and should be accessible to all. Enrollment in our program isn't necessary to take lessons, participate in ensembles, or enroll in beginner courses. Our concerts welcome all attendees - whether you perform or prefer to enjoy from the audience.

No auditions are needed to join W&M's music program. However, we recommend applicants supplement their Common Application with an Arts Submission, including a music background summary and a statement about your planned involvement in our classes, private instruction, and performance groups.
