 Return to: Areas of Study (A-Z)
This program is available 100% online.
Music offers students the opportunity to study the individual art form of music, as well as its relationship to the other performing arts of dance, theatre, and technical theatre. Music provides the foundation for performing careers in live music, dance, theatre, film, television, video or online, as well as teaching and research fields, arts therapy paths within the healthcare profession, entertainment law within the legal profession, and performing arts management within both the for-profit and non-profit business profession. The program utilizes an intensely collaborative, hands-on, studio approach, with ample opportunities for performances in spaces large and small, traditional as well as non-traditional, and working with student theatre technicians, actors and dancers beyond music. It is possible for a student who obtains an A.A. in Music to earn between $10 - $15 per hour as a performer with dance, music or theatre organizations across the country, however it is advisable to pursue studies leading to the bachelor’s degree. The A.A. in Music degree transfers successfully to four-year college and university programs. While an additional two years of study leading to a B. A. or B. M. in music may be sufficient for those interested in performing, generally two to five years of graduate study leading to an M. A. or M. M. E. or D. Mus. Ed. (for educators), an M. M. or D. M. A. or Ph. D. (for higher education or performing careers) may be required.
