Major

Emphasize in music within broader intellectual, social and cultural contexts in the Bachelor of Arts in Music major at the University of British Columbia.

Gain excellent preparation for graduate work in fields outside music performance (music librarianship, music journalism, arts administration) or for professional studies in other fields.

As a student, you can be heavily involved in music during your undergraduate degree without a required performance and audition component and will have plenty of flexibility in choosing your coursework.

The BA in music major is a four-year program offered in the Faculty of Arts for students interested in music but not intending to pursue music performance professionally or who do not meet the special admission requirements for the School of Music’s Bachelor of Music degree.
