Undergraduate Studies
At the undergraduate level, the Department of Music offers the Bachelor of Arts in Music, the Bachelor of Arts in Music Technology, the Bachelor of Arts in Music Education (with certification in choral/vocal or instrumental), as well as a Minor in Music or Music Technology. Students majoring in other fields may complete a minor in music or music technology and may take music courses as electives. The Department of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

Graduate Studies
At the graduate level, the Department of Music offers the Master of Arts in Education with a specialization in music education. Two distinct tracks are available: the Traditional 5th-Year Program for students whose undergraduate degree is in music education and the Alternative Program for those whose undergraduate degree lies outside the music education field. The latter leads toward a Class A certification in music.

Honors Program
Students are encouraged to audition for the Young Performing Artists Program which allows them to present a full-length, public recital sponsored by the Department. This recital is in addition to any senior or junior recitals that may be part of the degree program. Once the requirements for the Young Performing Artists Program are completed, the student graduates from UAB “with honors."
