The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Music programs cater to students seeking a comprehensive academic foundation 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 various activities including instrumental performance, vocal artistry, composition, or directing musical ensembles. Admission to Illinois State's music program demands significant musical experience and a successful audition. The curriculum emphasizes three primary disciplines: Music Education, Music Therapy, and Performance. A music degree cultivates artistic appreciation and insight into human expression, qualities highly valued across numerous career fields.
