George Washington University

Our Bachelor of Arts in Music degree lays a strong foundation for students interested in music-related professions or in advanced music study in graduate school. We offer a variety of courses in performance, ensembles, music theory, history, composition, ethnomusicology and electronic and computer music so students leave the program with fundamental knowledge to engage with music meaningfully. Whether majoring or minoring, Corcoran students can also take individual performance lessons and have performance opportunities ranging from solo shows to ensembles.

When you study music in the center of Washington, D.C., you develop your artistry, performance and scholarship with world-renowned faculty, practicing performers and composers, including members of the National Symphony and Kennedy Center orchestras. Students perform with vocal and instrumental jazz groups, orchestra, choruses, bands, opera productions, chamber music groups and musical theater.
