The Music Department offers three degree options: Bachelor of Science in Music Technology, Bachelor of Arts in Music with General Music Emphasis, and Bachelor of Arts in Music with Jazz Studies Emphasis. Because of the large degree of performance specialization inherent in this discipline, the department relies heavily upon an adjunct faculty of professional musicians. The following performance groups are a vital part of the Music Department: Chorus, Concert Band, Jazz Band, String Ensemble, String Quartet, Asheville Symphony Orchestra and various ensembles including Jazz, Chamber, Percussion, Studio and Synthesizer.
Bachelor of Arts in Music
There are two emphases within the B.A. program: 1) general music and 2) jazz studies. The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Music provides an opportunity for students to engage in a wide range of musical and academic studies. Students may emphasize areas of special interest, such as performance, composition, computer music, theory and history (traditional and jazz). The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Music with an emphasis in Jazz Studies is intended or students wishing to pursue careers as jazz performers, composers and arrangers.
Admission to the Major in Music
Students wishing admittance to either the B.A. or B.S. degree program in music must first satisfy the LANG 120 requirement. The student must also 1) demonstrate piano competency through the MUSC 102 level; 2) successfully complete MUSC 201 and MUSC 231 ; and 3) pass an instrumental or vocal audition placing them into MUSC 291 . Audition guidelines are available from the Music Department or at http://www.unca.edu/music.
