The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree at the College of Mount St. Joseph combines a concentrated music curriculum with the brand new Immersion program allowing students to learn outside of the college walls. Accomplished faculty performers, composers and teachers will guide students through the structural, cognitive and aesthetic aspects of music.  Students will get the opportunity to immerse themselves in the music industry in and around the city of Cincinnati.  We strive to help our students become more competitive, marketable and versatile.  We offer two concentrations: Music Education and Music Pedagogy

Our department is committed to developing complete musicians who will be prepared to make an educated decision about a career in the music industry. We do this through on and off campus performance opportunities, immersion observations and participation and state-of-the-art technology integrated into both theoretical and applied studies.

Our Music Education program prepares the student to be a productive and competitive music educator. When coursework is completed, a provisional multi-age license (ages 3 through 21) is available through the Education Department. This certifies graduates to teach in private, parochial and public schools.
