Bachelor of Arts in Music

The Bachelor of Arts degree program with a major in music is a liberal arts program with a strong emphasis in music.  Although It may fulfill the requirements for entrance into a Master of Music program, it does not provide preparation for teacher certification in music.

University and Music Supplemental Application
After you create your admissions account, you will be asked to select an application type.  You will be creating two applications - the main university application (First-Year or Transfer) and the College of Music Supplemental Application.  Follow the advertised deadlines for the main university application.  The College of Music Supplemental Application deadline is Dec 1 for Fall applicants, and Oct 1 for Spring applicants.  Current MSU students do not file a main university application.  Instead, file only the Music Supplemental Application.
