Liberal Arts: Music Major

All undergraduate students must complete 40 credits in General Education. Designed to foster well-educated critical thinkers and global citizens, the program foresees required and elective courses in writing, mathematics and analytics, science, foreign languages, arts and humanities, and the social sciences. Through these courses, students enhance their self-awareness, academic and problem-solving skills, civic awareness, and intercultural knowledge. The General Education program exposes students to a range of disciplines in the Arts and Sciences, which can serve as a context for their studies in their discipline. In addition, the program, and in general, the whole of the University’s undergraduate program, strives to enhance students’ appreciation of the diversity of cultural, ethnic, and professional settings in which they may live and work in the future.
