音乐学院提供综合性的大学本科学位课程，该课程将音乐学士学位和音乐学硕士学位相结合。这样一来，一定数量的学生就可以在大学和研究生层次上进一步学习音乐（研究音乐学，音乐理论或音乐理论和历史的曲目）。五年制课程结束时，学生将获得两个学位，即音乐学士学位和音乐学硕士学位。综合大学本科学位的候选人必须在学术核心课程（例如，音乐理论和音乐历史方面的课程）上表现出较高的才能和成就，并具有高度的动机去从事音乐学和/或音乐理论系的研究项目。IUG计划以Schreyer Honors学院的类似计划为蓝本，使有天赋的音乐学生可
The School of Music offers an Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree program that combines the B.M. in Music and the M.A. in Music. This enables a select number of students to further their research interests in music (with tracks in musicology, music theory, or music theory and history) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. By the end of the five-year program, students receive two degrees, a B.M. in Music and an M.A. in Music. Candidates for the Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree must demonstrate a high level of aptitude and achievement in academic core courses (i.e., offerings in music theory and music history) and be highly motivated to pursue research projects with musicology and/or music theory faculty. Modeled after a similar program in the Schreyer Honors College, the IUG program enables gifted music students to double-count credits in two degree programs. As a result, they will have developed a research focus during their fourth and fifth years, which will prepare them for entry into doctoral programs at other institutions. (Penn State does not offer doctoral programs in musicology or music theory.)
