Bachelor of Art in Arts Studies- Music in Raleigh United States | North Carolina State University

The Arts Studies program is an interdisciplinary major that enables students to establish a core understanding in an artistic discipline while exploring its societal and technological applications in contemporary contexts. Potential focus areas include digital arts, scientific visualization, arts administration, and arts instruction.

The curriculum requires 21 credit hours of foundational coursework designed to create connections between artistic disciplines and broader human experiences. These courses must concentrate on one primary arts field: Film Studies, Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts. Complementing these requirements, students complete 6 credit hours of studio/practical courses, 6 credit hours of interdisciplinary bridge courses, a guided elective, and a culminating Capstone experience.

This concentration prepares graduates for diverse arts-related professions, ranging from creative production in fields like cinema or music to careers in arts leadership, cultural policy, arts journalism, and educational programming.
