Program Overview

The academic courses in our program introduce foundational skills through the history, theory, literature, performance, and cross-cultural study of music. Students often find that the skills emphasized in our music courses, such as critical thinking, listening, collaboration, and writing, are relevant to most disciplines and professions. As a result, the major and minor in music constitute excellent preparation for graduate study in music and related fields in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; for careers in performance, media, and culture industries; or for any occupation demanding clear and original thinking, command of the written word, analytical and listening skills, and creativity. Many of our courses take advantage of our location close to Pittsburgh, a vibrant city with great live performance and plenty of cultural opportunities.

In addition to a curriculum designed for majors and minors, we offer a wide range of innovative courses for the general student in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music, music theory, composition, jazz, and music technology.

Recent and upcoming courses to look out for include:

  • Music in the Age of Romanticism
  • Introduction to Global Music Listening
  • The Art of Conducting
  • African Pop
  • Music Theory I, II, and III
  • Digital Audio Recording and Manipulation
