Music Programs

West Virginia Wesleyan College offers comprehensive music programs that have been a core part of campus life since its founding. These programs engage students, faculty, and the community in the understanding and appreciation of music, fostering the development of accomplished musicians. Students can pursue a Bachelor of Music Education, preparing them for a career in teaching, or a Bachelor of Arts degree, which suits those seeking a liberal arts focus or wishing to specialize in areas like performance or theory. The department also allows for contract majors, enabling students to combine music with other disciplines such as business or Christian education. The music department's intimate size ensures that all students, whether majors, minors, or non-majors, have access to private instruction from faculty. Performing ensembles are open to all students who successfully audition, regardless of their primary field of study.
