East Tennessee State University's Music Department, founded in 1946, holds full accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Music. The department provides Suzuki method training for flute, with courses adhering to the certification standards set by the Suzuki Association of the Americas (SAA). Students can pursue either a Bachelor of Music (BM) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. The BM program offers specializations in Music Education and Performance, equipping graduates for professional careers, advanced studies, or teaching positions in K-12 schools. The BA program features concentrations in Performance, Contemporary Music Performance, Music History, and Composition, catering to students seeking a music major without pursuing performance or education careers. This degree suits those exploring alternative music-related paths or desiring a music background for non-music professions requiring college degrees, offering a liberal arts approach to musical studies.
