Programs of Study as an Undergraduate Music Major Department of Music University of California, Berkeley

Students are encouraged to shape their program according to their particular interests, using the required units of upper division music electives and, if they wish, additional courses from both within and outside the department.

The department has prepared recommendations on how to use department requirements, university and college requirements, and electives to prepare for graduate school or careers in various fields of music. These are suggestions only and by no means exhaustive. Students should discuss their specific interests and goals with their advisers.
