Although a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Music is offered at the College and could be turned into a double major with another academic interest, you have chosen to pursue a Bachelor of Music (BM) degree in a music concentration at Eastman as well as a BA/BS degree in a non-music concentration at the College.
