The Bachelor of Arts in Music provides a highly adaptable program that allows students to combine musical studies with other disciplines. Those enrolled in this degree frequently pair it with majors like biology, chemistry, history, economics, or various pre-professional tracks including medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry. Requiring fewer courses than the Bachelor of Music, this program is ideal for undergraduates seeking to explore music while dedicating time to secondary academic interests. UNC's strings department offers training in violin, viola, cello, bass, harp, and guitar, available to both music majors and non-majors. Performance options range from solo work to orchestral participation and diverse chamber music groups. Alumni have established careers as professional performers, educators at various levels, and private teachers, while others continue musical engagement through community groups alongside different professions.
