Music Technology (B.M.)

West Liberty is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Two bachelor’s degrees are offered: Bachelor of Arts - Music Education, and Bachelor of Music - Music Performance or Music Technology. For Music Education, the comprehensive music teaching field curriculum prepares students for positions in the public schools. The Bachelor of Music degrees are professional degrees that afford our students the opportunity of intensive study in either Music Performance (Instrumental, Vocal, or Piano emphasis) or Music Technology (Digital Recording or Electronic Music Emphasis). The music minor curriculum is available to students with previous musical experience who wish to continue music study, though not on a full-time professional basis. The Interdisciplinary Studies Program offers additional options by allowing a student to design his/her own degree by combining music with study in other fields.
