The Music Program at Ramapo College, with its distinctly contemporary orientation, emphasizes creativity and experiential learning in a liberal arts framework. The program focuses on many forms of contemporary music and digital-music technologies, while cultivating an appreciation for Western art music, popular music, American music, and musical traditions from around the world. The major begins with foundational studies in two areas: musicianship, and music history and culture. Students select one of four concentrations – Music Industry, Music Performance, Music Production or Music Studies – all of which offer opportunities for internships, independent projects, and performance. These flexible and interconnected concentrations allow students to develop their interests, talents, and skills in individual ways.
Students completing this program will receive a B.A. degree. A minor in Music is available.
