Areas of Concentration

The Swinney Conservatory offers three degree programs for students preparing for a career in music (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education). All three degree programs are designed to give excellent preparation for a profession or for entry into graduate studies. The Conservatory also offers an academic minor in music. Students elect the degree program, which best suits individual life-long goals. Students who major in fields other than music have the opportunity to participate in all ensembles and to enroll for applied study. All music participants are provided multiple solo and ensemble performance opportunities.
