[June 22, 2021] 

Lincoln College is launching a new Bachelor of Arts in Music degree beginning Fall 2021. The new degree is the latest major added to Lincoln College’s growing list of programs available for bachelor degree students.

“This degree is particularly exciting because the program allows students to choose from two paths: Music Performance and Production and Music Business and Production. The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is practical, modern, and designed to transition students directly into careers,” said Lincoln College President David Gerlach.

Lincoln College determined that a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree would be a good fit for Lincoln College and set about designing curriculum that will focus on modern production technology and business, along with traditional performance opportunities.

Students in the Bachelor of Music program will have hands-on learning opportunities with nationally recognized music industry professionals hosted in the Johnston Center for Performing Arts building on campus.

The Music Business and Production path offers students an interdisciplinary array of courses in music production and publishing, audiovisual editing and finishing, recording arts history, and the overarching business fundamentals that govern the music industry. Successful graduates will enter the workforce with practical musical knowledge, production skills, and business acumen.

The Music Performance and Production path combines foundational music training with an emphasis on music performance as an integrative process that includes theater, audiovisual storytelling, recording arts production, and film media. Students will participate in all stages of the conceptualization, production, and performance of original music. Coursework encompasses songwriting, visual and audio production, and the presentation of live events on campus and in the community.

The curriculum will include practical skills that will prepare students for careers in the multi-faceted and fast-paced music and performing arts industries,” said Lead Faculty for Music Denise La Grassa. “Musical knowledge and performance skills will prepare students for careers as performers, music and fine arts administrators, community teaching instructors, an advanced degree in music performance or education, or a career in the recording arts, among other potential professional paths” La Grassa added.

Prospective students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music are encouraged to contact the Lincoln College Admissions Office at [e-mail] or 1.800.569.0556 to schedule a campus visit. The fall 2021 application is open and scholarships are still available.
