The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) offers students four concentrated areas of study: Choral/General Music Education, Instrumental/General Music Education, Instrumental Performance, and Vocal Performance. The concentrations in Choral/General and Instrumental/General Music Education are designed for vocalists who wish to become public school choral directors or general music educators and instrumentalists who wish to become public school band directors, orchestra directors, or general music educators, respectively. Both concentrations consist of 34 hours of General Education as well as a Foreign Language proficiency; 49 hours in the Core Music Curriculum, including private lessons, ensembles, music theory, ear training, piano, and music history; and 44-45 hours of education courses that lead to a K-12 teaching license in the State of North Carolina. Most music courses require grades of C or above to progress to subsequent levels of study; all required music courses must be passed with grades of C or above to graduate. For specific requirements, refer to the Department of Music Student Handbook. The culminating experiences for this degree are a Senior Recital and Student Teaching.
