音乐文学学士学位课程为学生提供了广泛沉迷于音乐作品的机会，同时将时间用于音乐以外的学习。所有对音乐专业感兴趣的学生必须首先通过乐器或声音的入学试听。为了完成该专业，所有学生必须在单个乐器或语音上达到中级水平，必须具有或掌握足以通过钢琴水平考试的钢琴技能，并且必须通过初中考试，通常在大二学年末。历史和文学专业的学生参加高级音乐理论课程，关于个人作曲家的研讨会（从巴赫到埃林顿公爵），以及特定历史时期（巴洛克，布鲁斯，20世纪）的音乐讲座。他们学习高级音乐理论，并在每个学期都非常重视私人课程和表演合奏。最高要求
The B.A. in music offers students the opportunity to indulge extensively in their music work while devoting time to studies outside of music. All students interested in majoring in music must first pass an entrance audition on an instrument or voice. In order to complete the major, all students must attain intermediate level on a single instrument or voice, must have or acquire piano skills sufficient to pass the piano proficiency examination, and must pass a junior standing examination, usually at the end of the sophomore year. History & Literature students take advanced music theory courses, seminars on individual composers (ranging from Bach to Duke Ellington), and lectures on music from particular historical eras (Baroque, blues, 20th century). They learn advanced music theory and have a strong emphasis on private lessons and performing ensembles each semester. The capstone requirement is a Senior Music History Project consisting of directed readings and research under a music history faculty member.
