10) I play an instrument and I am thinking about being a music major. I do not want to pursue a performing career, though. What are my options? While some of our graduates take the next step towards a performing career (by going to a good conservatory for graduate school), many do not. The most popular course of study leads to teaching certification - and we have a fabulous track record of placing our graduates at the best primary, middle, and high schools across Maryland. There are many other options. Our graduates have been accepted to top graduate programs in composition, musicology, and music theory. As our ethnomusicology program grows, we expect to place students in this field as well. There are still more options. A number of our graduates have gone on to success in the field of Arts Management. And, as is typical with a good liberal arts college, our graduates have also had great success in fields unrelated to music. Some of these students have graduated with a double major (some recent combinations have been Music and Art, Music and Economics, Music and Biology, Music and Psychology, Music and Philosophy, Music and Computer Science) - while some have chosen a single major but taken a good number of courses in other fields. And students with double majors or with extensive study in a second subject can use both areas to launch them into a professional life that combines the interests. For example, Music and History might combine to lead someone to a study of Music or Copyright Law. We will work with you to help you find a way to follow your interests as far as you choose to take them.
