Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Music
- The curriculum emphasizes the development of musical listening and performance skills as applied to both contemporary and traditional music. Students can concentrate in the areas of Composition, Performance, Literature, Technology or Jazz & the Music of the African Diaspora.
- The Music major requires extensive development of musical skills. A student without the appropriate level of those skills upon entrance to UC San Diego must devote considerable time to attaining them, either in lower-division courses or tutoring.
- The major consists of nine lower-division and twelve upper-division courses, plus the Department Seminar (Music 43/143), which must be taken each quarter that a student is a declared music major.
- UC San Diego Music is a comprehensive music department with performers, composers, scholars and music technologists coming together in an exciting environment that is welcoming to our students, from freshmen to doctoral candidates.
