BA vs. BM in music.

on: January 27, 2011, 07:51:49 PM

Hello, to any of you have either of these majors in college, could you please explain to me the differences between the two?
Thanks.

I have a BM - it was 100% music. A BA usually has other stuff on the course as well as music.

Depends where you go. BM or BMus tends to be more music concentrated. BA may feature more breadth in learning. BA may also signify less time to complete the degree than a BM.

Best thing to do is ask for a course plan for both degrees from the institution you are interested in. It will give you a much clearer picture.

Also think past the undergraduate degree. If you are planning on doing graduate studies you would want to do a degree that prepares you for it.

True.. I know I probably will do graduate studies, though I'm sure exactly what I want to do yet. I think I have time though.
