Degrees & Certificates

Associate of Arts in Music - Field of Study

The Associate of Arts (AA) Music is structured to meet the needs of students who will ultimately pursue a baccalaureate degree in music as well as those students who will complete their studies at Lee College. Music courses included in this curriculum are transferable as part of the state approved Field of Study in Music curriculum. The AA in Music also includes 32 credit hours of the state mandated General Education Core. Students should meet minimum standards in one specified area of performance, which will be declared their area of applied concentration.

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 Performance/Lecture Seminar that includes lectures, performances by guest artists, student recitals and other activities providing enrichment experiences for students.

Students should attend a specified number of approved concerts each semester.
