Background

The Department of Music, accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, offers the Bachelor of Arts in Music, the Bachelor of Music degree in which students may choose one of four concentrations, a Minor in Music and a Certificate in Music Technology.  In order to declare music as a major, students must successfully audition for faculty in their principal performance area.  A student entering UTSA for the first time will need to take diagnostic examinations in music theory and music history.

Bachelor of Music

As a degree to prepare for a profession in music, the Bachelor of Music offers four concentrations:

Music Performance
Music Composition
Music Marketing
Music Studies

Bachelor of Arts in Music

For those students wishing to major in Music but do not expect this to be their career field, the Bachelor of Arts in Music facilitates an interdisciplinary education with an emphasis in the art of music.

Certificate in Music Technology

Students who have an active interest in music technology should contact the Department of Music to schedule an interview with the Music Technology Program Director.
