Overview

The Department of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a vibrant hub for musical creativity and critical inquiry through courses, ensembles, and lessons that explore music from a variety of perspectives. Offerings span traditions including bluegrass, experimental, hip hop, jazz, opera, popular music, western art music, and more from across the globe. Any student who wants a life in music or music in their life can find the degree path —Bachelor of Arts in Music (B.A.), Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.), and Minor in Music— to meet their artistic and academic needs. The department also offers many exciting elective courses and performance opportunities to undergraduates majoring in fields other than music.
