Overview

The Bachelor of Music program prepares students for careers as professional performers of classical art music or in music teaching. Students must meet rigorous academic and artistic standards to enter and continue in the program, and after graduation the majority of students in performance concentrations pursue advanced music degrees or similar post-baccalaureate training. Students in the music education concentration pursue post-baccalaureate credentials to teach music. The performance concentrations puts particular focus on real world performing as a supplementary learning experience, with emphasis on auditions for professional engagements and competitions, service learning, and formation of ad hoc ensembles. The music education concentration puts similar focus on pre-professional activities, including substantive observations in school music settings, as well as pursuit of meaningful paid or volunteer teaching in such settings. Entrance to Bachelor of Music requires a demonstration of significant academic, performance, and intellectual achievement. Students may apply at any time for entrance to the Bachelor of Music, but freshmen students usually apply to enter the program after the completion of two semesters of CSUSB coursework, and transfers usually apply immediately before their first semester of enrollment. Students whose initial application does not result in acceptance into the program may apply a maximum of one additional time. All students enrolled as full-time music majors in the Bachelor of Music are required to participate each semester until graduation in a major performing ensemble most appropriate to a student's applied emphasis: As prerequisites for acceptance into the Bachelor of Music, students must complete the following as a Pre­-Bachelor of Music major.
