Bachelor of Music in Performance:
Organ/Harpsichord

The undergraduate curriculum has been revised, effective Fall 2006. Students who matriculated as music majors before Fall 2006 should consult the appropriate Purchase College catalog for requirements.

In addition to meeting general degree requirements, undergraduate music performance majors who concentrate in organ/harpsichord must complete the following Conservatory requirements (90 professional credits). The following courses also satisfy two general education requirements: MTH 2510 (Other World Civilizations) and MTH 2520 (Humanities).
