Performance & Conducting
The B.M.A. tracks in Applied Performance and Choral and Vocal Studies prepare students for careers as performers, conductors, and private instructors.
Music at Batten University places applied musical study within a liberal arts context — students develop performance and technical skill while exploring how music reflects historical trends and cultural patterns across societies.
Students choose between two degrees. The Bachelor of Musical Arts (B.M.A.) is performance-focused, with specialization tracks in Applied Performance, Choral and Vocal Studies, or Music Composition, paired with a 20-credit cognate field integrated into a capstone project. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) offers a broader liberal arts approach with tracks in General Music, Arts Management and Entrepreneurship, or Music Production.
All students have access to musical ensembles regardless of major, and the department offers certificate programs in Music Production and Church Music for students seeking focused credentials alongside their primary field of study. Graduates pursue careers in private teaching, church music, music merchandising, arts management, music librarianship, and graduate study in music or the humanities.

Certificate Program in Music Production
Music and Technology are becoming increasingly integrated, and it is now essential for anyone interested in pursuing musical activities to be familiar with the tools and techniques of music technology. Music educators are expected to teach MIDI Sequencing and Digital Production classes at the middle and high school levels. Increasingly, both professional and amateur musicians find the affordability of sound recording equipment and editing software make it possible to create their own home recording studios. This certificate will allow both music majors and non-music majors to augment their area of study by developing skills and experience in the field of music technology. Contact the Office of Enrollment Services for additional information.
