The BA in Music at Eastern University provides students the unique opportunity to study with scholars who are dedicated to teaching, exploring, and performing music. Students develop the skills and understanding necessary to thrive in all aspects of the music world. Music students will have the opportunities to participate in internships, apprenticeships, a professional semester off-campus, touring, and networking with arts organizations locally, in Philadelphia, and internationally. Eastern University is home to numerous ensembles open to students, including: Eastern Strings, Flute Ensemble, Jazz Band, Eastern Winds, St. Davids Orchestra Society, University Choir, Chamber Ensemble, and more. Each year there are also a number of music productions, including The Fine Arts Festival, The Winter Music Festival, Spring Music Festival, and The Music Gala Benefit Concert.

Given the nature and strength of Eastern University as a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, music majors not only have professional music career options, but also options outside of the music profession. * Educator: Public and Private, K-12 * Church Music and Worship Leadership * Choral and Instrumental Conducting * Chamber Music and Solo performance * Recording Industry * Composition/Electronic Musician: video, MIDI and production work * Musical Theatre The Music department assists students in finding apprenticeships, partnerships and employment opportunities.
