Bachelor of Musical Arts (B.M.A., BMA) ) is an academic degree awarded by a college, university, or conservatory upon completion of program of study in music. According to the College Music Society (www.music.org), a Bachelor of Musical Arts (BMA) degree program usually focuses on liberal arts studies as well as music, with each making up about half of the curriculum. Students may declare a double major or a music major with a minor in one of the liberal arts, with the goal of promoting wider proficiency and preparation for specific careers, such as music therapy, which require more than music education. A few colleges combine music studies with music specializations, such as pedagogy, composition or performance, rather than liberal arts.
Students who would prefer to concentrate exclusively on music might consider earning a Bachelor of Music, while the curriculums for a Bachelor of Arts or Science music program include more general studies than a BMA.
