Prospective Students

Do you want a music education that works for you?

Some music students do better at a really big school where they can be anonymous. Others excel in a smaller, family-style environment like the UAH Department of Music. With approximately 60 music majors, we have six full-time and more than thirty part-time faculty. We know our students and we care about them.

Of course, we have more than music majors involved in music at UAH. More than 200 students from every college and department on campus are involved in our 15-20 ensembles each semester. More than 1300 students were enrolled in music classes of all kinds last year.

Degree Options

Many people ask "What can I do with a music degree?" A better question might be "What can't you do?" There are a handful of careers that require a specific undergraduate degree, including engineering, nursing, and accounting. A great many more require a non-specific college degree.

Besides working as music teachers or performers, there are music students who have gone on to law school, medical school (out of all undergraduate majors, music has the highest medical school acceptance rate), and careers in virtually every field. Other careers in music include music administration, music composition, music software development, music therapy, retail music, church music, private music teaching, etc.

To meet these needs, the UAH Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Arts in Music, which gives a graduate a well-rounded college education. With this degree, students can pursue any of the following degree options:
