Simpson College

As a music major, you will take well-rounded courses that will provide you with excellent musical understanding and performance skills.

In addition, you are free to pursue a secondary area of interest, which might form the basis of a specific kind of professional training. A bachelor’s degree would be your best choice if you want to pursue a double major (music and another field). A bachelor’s degree in music allows for the greatest curricular flexibility.

You will take foundational courses in music, as you will see in these sample classes, and you will be required to participate in two ensembles. Additionally, you can explore different academic areas that interest you, including business management, theatre, communication, and religion, to name a few.

A music minor allows students who are passionate about music and want to keep it a part of their lives to pursue a bachelor’s degree in a different field. To pursue a music minor, you must obtain six ensemble credits.
