Music at Northwestern

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

I am considering applying to Northwestern for regular decision. I know that Northwestern has the Bienen School of Music., but for the School of Arts and Sciences it appears that there is no music major. How does someone at Northwestern who is not a student at the School of Music get involved in music? Are there music courses, lessons, ensembles?

Also, I know there is a dual degree with the Bienen School of Music. Is it possible to enter that program once you are already a student at Northwestern?

Thanks.

Most of the ensembles are open to anyone, regardless of major, you just have to audition. There’s also a bunch of a cappella groups and I think all are open to non-music majors.

If you go to the music school website, they have a section that explains the opportunities for music for non majors.
