Musical Arts is offered through the Division of Music in the Warren M. Angell College of Fine Arts.
All students within the division study music theory and history, develop skills in a primary and secondary musical area, have multiple solo and ensemble performance experiences and are guided by faculty members who are professional, compassionate and committed to the call of Christ. Students pursing the Bachelor of Musical Arts not only meet requirements of a professional music degree, but also pursue a minor in an outside field.
