BM Music - TUG

Gardner-Webb University's Bachelor Music Program will provide a student with opportunities to develop skills and competencies in a student's choice of six areas of concentration, Contemporary Music and worship, Music Composition, Music Business and Industry, Music Education, Music Performance, and Traditional Music and Worship.

In addition to Gardner-Webb University’s required general education courses, a student will complete 78 hours of credit required for a Bachelor of Music degree. 

 

This degree plan serves as a sample of a four-year course plan for the Bachelor of Music degree. It makes recommendations for the degree as a whole and does not coincide directly with any of the concentrations. Building a schedule should be done in consultation with a student's advisor for optimal results and degree progress. Academic departments reserve the right to alter the term in which a course is offered.
