The Bachelor of Arts with a major in music is designed for students who have strong abilities and interest in music but are not planning on careers as musicians, or for those who wish to pursue a double major or earn more than one bachelor's degree. Students must audition and be accepted into a performance area. They develop musicianship, performance skills, and select from a wide variety of music electives. Students in many areas, from engineering and physics to history, art, and English, find that a B.A. in music is a good addition to their studies. Other students choose the B.A. in music to complement course work in business (especially the minor in business administration), foreign language and literature, or interdisciplinary fields such as American studies. Some students combine a B.A. in music with undergraduate preparation to study law or medicine. The Bachelor of Arts with a major in music requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including 42-47 s.h. of work for the major. PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES From new music to jazz to symphonic classics and opera, the University of Iowa has nearly two dozen Performing Groups for music students. Among them are the University Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Band, Hawkeye Marching Band, Percussion Ensemble, Center for New Music ensembles, Johnson County Landmark jazz band, and University Choir.
