If you’re interested in combining your passion for music with another field, our program offers the option to pursue a double major or dual degree. This approach integrates musical studies with another discipline, broadening your educational experience and enhancing career opportunities.

Even if you’re not a music major, you can still get involved in our vibrant music community. You can join ensembles, add a minor in music, or take recommended classes. All students are welcome to participate in ensembles or take lessons with CIM faculty (please note that instructional fees apply).
