Degree Programs

The Nicholls State University Department of Music prepares its majors for careers in music through classroom lectures and practical experience, including performances and recitals.  Students learn from distinguished faculty members and visiting musicians as well as hands-on in elementary and secondary music classrooms and in the Nicholls Music Academy.

We offer programs that allow students to pursue a music degree with a career cluster of elective courses suited to their individual interests. Music majors can choose to concentrate in voice or instruments (winds, strings, percussion and piano).

The Department of Music offers the following degree programs:

  • The Bachelor of Arts in Music program combines electives and music courses and is designed to meet the needs of students who are not seeking a professional music degree but who desire a solid foundation in the study of music.
  • The Bachelor of Music Education program allows students to receive certification in instrumental music education or in vocal music education. The curriculum combines education and music courses.
