The AA in Church Music includes 29 credit hours of the state mandated General Education Core.

AA students are required to enroll in either Class Piano or in Applied Piano (as determined by the instructor) until exit proficiency requirements are met.

Students are required to attend the weekly Performance/Lecture Seminar that includes lectures, performances by guest artists, student recitals and other activities providing enrichment experiences for students.
