Degree information
Undergraduates
The University of Iowa School of Music offers
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music
degrees. See Degree Requirements.
The
B.M. is a
professional degree and prepares the student for employment
(teaching, performance, music therapy, etc.) or to go on to
graduate study in music. All B.M. music students are part
of an instrumental studio, regardless of specialization
(theory/composition, jazz studies, music therapy, or
performance).
The
B.A. degree:
If you want to continue playing horn and making music, but
don't intend to make a career of it and wish to major in
something else, the B.A. is for
you.
You'll gain enough skill and knowledge to keep music as an
important part of the rest of your life, while the reduced
requirements of the B.A. allow you more time to acquire a
major in another area.
Your horn playing might pay for your education:
B.A. horn students are eligible for music scholarships and
study with the horn professor. The
B.A. in
music is a nonprofessional degree that enables those who
are majoring in other subjects to take music courses,
lessons, play in ensembles and have reduced music course
requirements (there is no "minor" in music, but the B.A. is
similar to a minor; fewer courses than a B.M.).
B.A. program concentrations are composition, music history,
and performance.
Nonmajor horn players
may also take certain courses.
Nonmajors are
eligible to take nonmajor horn lessons and - pending
auditions - to take part in band, orchestra, chamber
music, and horn choir. Nonmajor horn players take
lessons with the horn studio teaching assistant.
Music for Nonmajors
- recommended
courses.
Music
