Fine Arts: Music Degrees

Southern Wesleyan University's Concert Choir

The mission of the Division of Fine Arts is to provide a quality music curriculum within a Christian environment. To accomplish this mission, each program within the department will:

• equip the student with the skills necessary to excel in a variety of musical settings;
• integrate various aspects of the Christian faith into each course, attempting to instill within the student an awareness of the practical outworking of Biblical principles.

Music B.S.

The B.S. in music, a general degree, provides the student with a foundation in musical studies while giving elective opportunity for study in a secondary area which often integrates with music, e.g., business or computers. Although an applied performance degree is not offered at Southern Wesleyan University, some B.A. in music majors concentrate in performance by taking additional hours in applied areas of study, particularly in their freshman and sophomore years.
