Music, B.S.

At RPI, a music degree does more than train artists: it cultivates the creative and innovative minds a rapidly changing world demands. Whether composing for the concert stage, games, or media, designing new software tools for digital sound creation, or mastering skills in recording and production, RPI's Bachelor of Science in Music draws on both traditional and contemporary practices to prepare you for a creative career in music and beyond. As a performer, you'll find a vibrant community, from our Symphony Orchestra and Concert Choir to Ensemble Nonlinear, our technology-driven ensemble pushing the boundaries of musical performance. Working with an internationally recognized faculty, you'll design a degree path that fits your own goals. And with a dual-degree option compatible with any RPI major, you can combine musical depth with breadth in the sciences, media, and engineering. In doing so, you'll join a long tradition of groundbreaking thinkers who have drawn deeply from both arts and sciences.
