As a student in the Bachelor of Arts in Music program at Webster University, you will receive a broad understanding of the music discipline through the study of performance, music theory and music literature, and investigate diverse areas of music within a flexible curricular framework. This exciting program also includes a semester in Vienna, one of the world's oldest musical capitals!
You will complete a senior project appropriate for your primary emphasis area, such as composition, piano performance, vocal performance, jazz studies and more. The program's flexibility lets you pursue a second field of study outside of music, too. Whether it's biology, creative writing, electronic media, foreign languages, international studies or psychology, the choice is yours. These are some of the reasons why the Bachelor of Arts in Music program is the most popular degree within the Department of Music.
If you plan to major or minor in music, you must complete an audition as part of your application to Webster. Check out our audition requirements and submit your application today.
