Ohio Wesleyan University | Admission | Your Major

The Arts: Music

O HIO WESLEYAN’S Department of Music is a professional school of music, fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. We offer a Bachelor of Music in Performance, which prepares you for graduate study or to pursue various professional opportunities in the field, and the Bachelor of Music in Music Education, which prepares you to teach general, vocal, and instrumental music in Pre-K–12 schools. You may also elect a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music if you prefer a non-professional concentration within the liberal arts program.

At Ohio Wesleyan, you don’t have to be a performance major to participate in recitals, operas, and ensembles; those opportunities are open to all music majors and minors. You’ll also have ready access to practice facilities and instruction by faculty who are all experienced, professional, well-respected musicians.
