Bachelor
of Music (BA)
School of Social and Human
Studies
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Music (BA) program help
students develop an aptitude and self confidence
while building the real-life skills needed
to succeed as a professional musician by
providing a strong foundation in music fundamentals,
including harmony, sight reading, and repertoire.
The Bachelor of Music (BA) program is offered
online via distance learning. After evaluating
both academic record and life experience,
AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Bachelor of Music (BA) curriculum
is designed individually by the student
and academic advisor. It specifically addresses
strengths and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
