Major: Music History, Literature, and Theory

What did the earliest stringed instruments sound like? How did World War II affect the musical world? What is twelve-tone music? If you are fascinated by questions like these, then a program combining study in music history, literature, and theory might be for you.
In this broad-ranging field, you’ll be exposed to musical traditions from around the world and throughout human history. You’ll study such topics as the history of musical notation and the development of music theory as well as specific musical periods and cultural traditions.
Students in this major learn about the history of styles of music, musical instruments, and techniques. An important part of the major is studying what other people throughout history have written about music.
