Tell me more about being a music major or minor
We offer undergraduate degrees in education (BS) and performance (BFA) as well as a general music degree (BA) that includes an optional focus on the music industry.
Students interested in pursuing a major or minor in music at IUP will complete an audition or portfolio review prior to beginning studies. You can find out about the process and register for your audition on our auditions page.
Tell me how I can get involved with ensembles at IUP
At IUP, students have numerous opportunities to be involved in music through a wide variety of ensembles. Whether you're a music major, minor, or non-major, you can participate in groups like Marching Band, concert bands, choirs, jazz ensembles, orchestras, and more. These ensembles offer a chance to perform in diverse styles, from classical to contemporary, and to collaborate with talented musicians and faculty. Joining an ensemble is a great way to grow as a musician and be part of IUP’s music community.
You may join the IUP University Band or University Chorus without an audition. For all other ensembles, auditions occur during the first week of classes.
