专业描述

The Department of Music at Stanford offers a Bachelor’s of Arts (BA) degree in Music centered around core studies in Music Theory and Musicianship, History, Analysis, Writing, and Applied Music. As a part of the Music major, students can opt to concentrate in Performance; Conducting; Music History, Theory, and Ethnography; Composition; or Music, Science, and Technology (MST). The Music Minor is a distilled version of the major, covering the same core areas, with roughly half the number of required credits. Music minors are offered in General Music and in Music, Science, and Technology (MST), with each program focused on core elements of both the General Music pathway and the MST pathway. Music at Stanford is open to both Music majors and non-Music majors. The Performance Certificate for Non Music Majors is a departmentally recognized certificate given to non-Music majors and minors who display a committment to musical excellence. In contrast to the Minor, 75% of the Performance Certificate requirements center entirely around private lesson and ensemble performance study.
