Degree
Program
Students
interested in majoring will major in Fine Arts, with a concentration in
Music. Our graduates have gone on to teach in the public school system,
continued their education in graduate schools such as Columbia
University, and worked in the music industry. The program requires 11
three-credit courses plus a minimum of 6 semesters of Applied Music
(Private instruction in an instrument or voice) a minimum of 6 semesters
of an ensemble (Chorale, Madrigals, Chamber Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Jazz
Combo, or Classical Guitar Ensemble) and 4 semesters of Ear Training.
If
you want to teach music
For those
students who want to teach music, Loyola also offers a state approved
Certificate granting program in Music Education. Students in
this area major in Music and minor in Secondary Education. Please
contact Dr. Anthony Villa for
further information.
Minor
in Music
Of interest to
many freshmen, the Music minor requires two lower-division courses and
four upper-division courses, four semesters each in Applied Music and an
Ensemble plus two semesters of Ear Training. Most majors at Loyola
have more than sufficient room for a minor in Music. Planning,
however, is required to assure that the student’s schedule runs smoothly.
Take
music courses regardless of your major or minor
Each semester,
full credit courses are offered in Performance, Music History and Music
Theory for both the interested novice and more musically experienced
student.
