The Lamar University Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music offers you a broad-based liberal arts degree through the study of music and an applied instrument, including voice. You'll choose a minor based on your own professional goals. For example, a music major with a business minor might someday own a music retail company, and a music major with an English minor might become a music critic.
