DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC

The Department of Music is authorized to award the Bachelor of Music degree. This degree is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. Students may select one of four concentrations in the Bachelor of Music program: music performance, composition, music marketing, or music studies. Within the Music Studies concentration, students must select one of two tracks: all-level instrumental or all-level choral. The department also offers a Minor in Music.

Students entering the Bachelor of Music program with a Music Studies concentration may be required to satisfy additional requirements as prescribed by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) and are advised to consult the College of Education and Human Development Advising and Certification Center.

Diagnostic examinations in music theory and music history are given to music majors entering UTSA for the first time. These examinations are given at the beginning of each semester and used as an aid in counseling.

In order to declare music as a major, students must successfully audition for faculty in their principal performance area. This audition will also serve as a basis for placement into ensembles and private instruction. If a student is not enrolled in Private Instruction for two consecutive long semesters (Fall or Spring), the student must reaudition for admission into the music program and for placement in an appropriate level of private instruction.
