The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Music offers a flexible liberal arts education combined with musical training. This program allows students and advisors to collaboratively design either:
A customized music curriculum that can incorporate specialized interests like music history, world music studies, or performance (piano/vocal/instrumental), or
An intensive concentration in either Hawaiian Music or Musical Theater for advanced study.
Every BA candidate undertakes a culminating project to develop professional skills in music-related fields. This capstone offers practical experience and career exploration. Students pursuing the General BA or Hawaiian Music BA can choose between a Senior Project (which could involve research, creative work, community engagement, or an internship) or a performance recital at the junior level, based on faculty recommendations. Musical Theater BA candidates must complete a junior recital as part of their degree requirements.
