The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Music programs cater to students seeking a comprehensive academic education in music. These degrees offer a more general alternative to the specialized Bachelor of Music professional degree. Like other liberal arts programs, they share comparable General Education requirements. Music professionals may engage in instrumental performance, vocal artistry, composition, or directing musical ensembles. Admission to Illinois State's music program requires significant musical experience and a successful audition. The curriculum emphasizes three primary disciplines: Music Education, Music Therapy, and Performance. Studying music cultivates artistic appreciation and insights into human creativity, skills highly valued across various professions.
