The Department of Music provides professional training in music within the context of a liberal education at a major university. Our focus is undergraduate teaching, and the vast majority of music courses are taught by members of the faculty.
The Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Music Education degree program prepares students for careers in school settings and for future graduate study, through lifelong connections and mentoring. The resulting licensure is for all music, PreK-12.
The Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Performance degree program provides the broad, pre-professional training required for advanced study in music and, ultimately, for entry into the profession. At Miami, performance opportunities abound in solo, chamber, and ensemble settings.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music is designed for students who want creative fulfillment and professional momentum, all within a flexible, double-major–friendly path. The B.A. is in two tracks: Music Production & Music Business.
Our Music Composition and Music Performance minors are designed for students majoring in other fields who want to continue performing, studying, and growing as musicians. Whether you’ve been deeply involved in music before college or simply don’t want to let it go, this path keeps you connected to your craft while you pursue another academic focus. Audition Required.
The Miami University Department of Music encourages its students to develop their relationship to the discipline of music as they explore the world through the lens of a superb liberal arts education.
