Musical Arts Program
BFA Only

The Musical Arts Program is designed for undergraduates whose diverse interests and multiple musical talents warrant individualized courses of study. It is especially well suited for students who wish to build strong musical skills while exploring a wide variety of possible artistic syntheses and careers, including work in interdisciplinary settings.

Relying on the BFA Core Curriculum as their foundation, students, with the aid of their faculty mentors, build customized programs of study. Courses can be drawn from the School of Music as well as from other schools at CalArts. Students in the Musical Arts Program also may take private instrumental, vocal or composition lessons, depending on the recommendations of their mentors and the availability of faculty.
