Bethel’s Music major will give you the groundwork to pursue a career in church music, applied music or music education. You can also couple music as a minor with another major, or you can even double-major with music as one of the two.
One of Bethel’s greatest fortes is its many opportunities that have been created for music majors and those who are simply interested in music. Many students from different fields of study take part in programs like the Bethel Chorale, Chamber Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, and Renaissance, the Bethel Performing Arts Experience, a program that encompasses all facets of performing arts including vocal performance, instrumental music and dramatic performance. Each of these groups will offer you the chance to get the most out of Bethel’s music program, and you’ll receive ensemble credit toward your music major with most of these programs. As a music major, you’ll also get the chance to participate in theatre performances including plays, musicals and even opera workshops.
Many Bethel graduates share stories about how their time here inspired them to change the world for the better. The Bethel community does offer a unique blend of academic and life experiences that fuels such inspiration. In addition to just getting the chance to be inspired, this added value to your undergraduate education means you will stand out among other graduates who simply have a music degree.
