The BM--Composition degree is a 122 semester credit program for students interested in careers as professional composers and arrangers and for students who plan to teach composition at the collegiate level. The program emphasizes individual creativity and exposure to historical and contemporary musical practice and techniques. The degree culminates in a public recital of the student's original compositions. Although applicants to the BM--Composition degree may perform their admission audition on any instrument or voice,
a strong keyboard background is a desirable attribute for student composers.
