What To Expect From the Dewberry School of Music Experience

Should I Choose a Bachelor's of Arts or Music?

Bachelor's of Arts degrees at the Dewberry School of Music provide maximum flexibility to students who have diverse interests in music and other fields. 60% of a student’s coursework in the BA is outside of music. Recent BA students have gone on to graduate study and to careers in studio teaching, arts management, musicology, and music theory to name only a few. 

Bachelor's of Music degrees at the Dewberry School of Music provide a more intensive music education, more akin to the depth and rigor required by a conservatory.
