Overview
PURPOSE:
The Music Department trains students to improve their communities with meaningful, beautiful, and edifying musical activity. This is accomplished through coursework designed to develop broadly-skilled musicians and frequent public performances in different contexts, especially where our music can help to share the Christian faith.
FUNCTION:
Students from across the university are engaged in music-making through ensembles, lessons, and music classes. Some choose a music minor. For those who want to develop music as a primary vocation, the Music Department offers a 54-unit major, with add-on concentrations in church music and worship arts, commercial music, composition, performance (instrumental, piano, voice), and pre-teacher certification. Concentrations require additional units (16-20) beyond the 54-unit major.
ACCREDITATION:

NASM is an organization of schools, conservatories, colleges, and universities with more than 600 accredited institutional members.
