Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Music that combines broad liberal arts studies with an intensive general music program. Through coursework and internships, students gain preparation for various music-related professions including editing, journalism, publishing, as well as non-music fields like law, library science, and healthcare. Unlike performance-focused degrees that develop professional musicians, the Music BS emphasizes analytical, creative, and critical thinking about music. This 124-credit program features a diverse curriculum covering everything from music history and theory to classical and electronic music composition. With many general education and elective options, students can tailor their studies to align with their professional aspirations and personal interests.
