The Bachelor of Music Degree is a professional degree for students who wish to pursue a career in music. Students interested in a BM degree can choose between concentrations in performance, composition, jazz studies and electronic music. These programs require 120 credit hours of study that include private study on their principle instrument and participation in ensembles. Additionally, students complete the music theory, history and literature sequences, and take additional course work in their chosen concentration. Graduates from BM programs at USF find themselves in very competitive positions for graduate study and musical careers. Admission into the BM in music degree requires an audition on your major instrument. Each chosen concentration has a separate senior requirement that must be fulfilled in order to receive the degree of your choice. These concentrations correspond to each degree -- i.e. a vocal recital for vocal performance majors or recital and portfolio for composition majors.
