On Campus
The Music degree program offers a liberal arts degree with an emphasis in music – a course of study leading to a non-professional degree in music, allowing graduates to receive a well-rounded education and broad skill set. This degree gives students a strong foundation in the humanities, combining academic studies with training in the musical areas of their choice.
In addition to general studies courses, the courses required by the student’s chosen minor or second major, and a foreign language component, the music courses for this degree include music history, music theory, applied music and performance. Because of the program’s focus on both academic and musical excellence, graduates are set up well for a wide variety of career opportunities.
UNK's Music department also offers a number of programs leading to a Bachelor of Music. If you're not sure what degree is right for you, you can see a full listing of the music degree programs offered or reach out to a faculty member to talk more about your academic and career goals.
