Bachelor of Music

The academic programs at CCU in Music & Worship feature the powerful Bachelor of Music in Music and Worship. The BM can focus on applied voice or piano.  Other instrumentalists may receive the BSM degree, listed below.

The central purpose of each of our degrees is to equip graduates to serve the Lord in a local church as a minister of music or worship.

The BM in Music and Worship can also equip a student to succeed in a graduate program of a music school. Many of our graduates open their own teaching studios, or begin a performing career, or obtain teaching licensure to teach music in a public or private school. Several are now teaching in other colleges and universities.

Bachelor of Music Education

(Pending approval by the Ohio Board of Regents)

The Bachelor of Music Education Degree combines majors both in Bible and Theology and in Music Education, and leads to licensure for the State of Ohio.  The degree is designed for those who desire to prepare to be an effective, licensed music teacher in the public or private school setting.  The desires to develop strong musical abilities and to teach and work with young people are combined within a biblical view of education.

BM with cooperative program leading toward teaching licensure

Some of our students opt to follow up their BM program with a Master of Education from Milligan College, a 15-month program which leads to teaching licensure. The BM plus the MEd from Milligan College serves as a thorough training to prepare secondary music teachers for public or private schools.

AA in Music & Worship

CCU also offers an Associate of Arts in Music and Worship, which entails an audition and acceptance similar to that of the BM, but in a two-year program. The AA Degree offers the student a vocational emphasis in Music & Worship with an opportunity to develop some of the basic skills that are necessary for leading music in the church.

Regardless of your chosen career, our goal is to help all graduates of our degree programs find effective service for the Lord Jesus Christ through music, and to worship him in spirit and in truth.
