Music, Concentration

The Music Concentration integrates a rigorous study of music within the liberal arts education. The program emphasizes both the technical and expressive aspects of music, encouraging students to explore their musical talents while also understanding music's role in cultural and spiritual contexts. Students benefit from mentorship with UD music faculty and a supportive community, fostering artistic, academic and personal growth.
