Our four-year Honours Bachelor of Music program will provide you with a comprehensive background in all aspects of music theory, history and performance.

The Honours Bachelor of Arts (Music) program, while offering a wide range of courses in music, also allows you to take a number of non-music electives. If you are interested in pursuing a career in music education, this program has been designed especially for you. Upon completion of your HBA, you may further prepare yourself for this goal by pursuing the one-year consecutive Bachelor of Education degree.

Our five-year concurrent Honours Bachelor of Arts (Music)/Bachelor of Education program offers a wide range of music courses as well as non-music electives.  This program enables you to obtain a teaching certificate with a music option.  Field placements begin at the third year level.
