Music
Overview
Music is a multi-billion dollar industry which encourages the use of critical thinking, logic, assessment, collaboration, and listening skills. Requiring a large amount of self-discipline, diligence, and motivation, music is a degree option that provides students with coursework and skills that lead to effective study and work habits that carry over into multiple fields.
