The Program / The Department

At MSU, a top-tier research university, music plays a very special role in the lives of both our students and our faculty. Our music, music education, and music technology degrees offer great choices for music majors, and our fifteen performing ensembles and a wide array of courses provide opportunities for majors, minors and non-majors. MSU is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, and many engineering, science, business, humanities, education and fine arts majors find their musical home here.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music at Montana State University is designed to enable students to combine concentrated music studies with a wide variety of areas outside of music.

The Bachelor of Music Education (K-12 Broadfield) leads to certification to teach music at all levels of the public schools. A selection of courses in music education, music theory, and music history are offered at the graduate level. 100% of recent MSU music education graduates who sought jobs in music education are currently working in the field.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music Technology is a synthesis of traditional musical training and application through new technologies. Students develop skills in areas including music composition and theory, recording, sound synthesis, sound design for film and theater, audio for film / video and multimedia, film scoring, notation and sequencing, orchestration, interdisciplinary collaboration, music business, and instrumental / vocal performance.

The Master of Music in Music Education ( MMME ) is designed for currently licensed, practicing music teachers. This degree program can be completed 100% online, allowing students to earn an advanced music degree while continuing their teaching career. The MMME curriculum emphasizes practical applications of music and music education content in K-12 music classrooms.
