The Bachelor of Arts in Music & Computing combines core curriculum from both musical studies and computer science, covering essential music theory, composition methods, structural analysis, instrumentation, electronic music, mathematical foundations, database management, system operations, software development, algorithm creation, and coding languages. This cross-disciplinary program aims to equip students with the skills to develop innovative tools like music applications, composition platforms, algorithmic music generators, and interactive media scores by integrating musical creativity with programming expertise. The curriculum blends foundational courses in music (including performance skills and historical context) with computer science subjects such as advanced mathematics, data management, system architecture, application design, computational problem-solving, and multiple programming paradigms.

Qualification Requirements
A freshman applicant is defined as an individual who has completed or will complete a high school degree or its equivalent and has fewer than 12 transferrable college credit hours. The admission requirements for freshman applicants are as follows:
Complete the online application.
Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Students with a GPA just below 2.0 may be still considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University.
If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts.
Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
