Undergraduate & Graduate Degree Programs
The Bass School offers two undergraduate tracks. The performance-intensive Bachelor of Music degree programs are designed to develop comprehensive musical skills and literacy. The Bachelor of Music is offered in instrumental performance, music theater, vocal performance, music education, composition, music business, and piano pedagogy.
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music or Sacred Music is designed for the study of music within a broad-based liberal arts curriculum.
Our professional graduate programs integrate performance skills, music scholarship, pedagogy, and professionalism to prepare students for the music careers for the 21st century. Master of Music degrees are offered in composition, conducting, instrumental performance, vocal performance, opera performance, and music theater.
Graduates of the OCU School of Music leave campus not only with a diploma, but with a discipline and versatility that positions them for successful professional lives.
