Music
Music courses encompass music history, theory, applied music and ensemble. The music minor curriculum complements a number of other programs of study on campus.
One medium of the student's musical expression and performance is participation in recitals and concerts, both on and off campus. Qualified students may join the University Concert Choir. The Concert Choir, which specializes in music for women's voices, performs for campus events and concert series in the Baltimore/Washington area. Other opportunities include participation in the Baltimore Choral Arts Society, the Baltimore Opera Company, local choirs and instrumental ensembles. The Music at Notre Dame Concert Series includes performance and master classes by national and international artists. A student may apply four ensemble credits—Concert Choir or Instrumental Ensemble—toward her degree. The general education requirement in fine arts may be fulfilled by taking any of the courses in music. MUS-320 fulfills the general education requirement in fine arts and gender studies. MUS-313 and MUS-314 fulfill the general education requirement in fine arts and cross-cultural studies. A student who has a baccalaureate degree in music from another college may complete the Maryland State Program of Education certification requirement in general/choral music or in instrumental music through the ACT or MAT programs.
Note: Music courses may not be taken on an audit or pass/fail basis.
