Wayland Baptist University provides intensive education in music for students who plan to enter music as a career; a broad-based liberal arts education in music for students not interested in a professional career; and gives every student an opportunity to gain cultural knowledge of music as part of his/her academic preparation. We offer a Bachelor of Music in Church Music or Music Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Music or Church Music/Religious Education Composite. A minor in music is available for students enrolled in any degree program. The Bachelor of Music degree is designed to allow maximum flexibility for students to pursue personal interests in individual and group performance and to gain experience teaching and leading in the fields of music education and church music. Internships are required of all students involved in Church Music and Music Education. All students are required to develop performing skills through applied music study and performance through membership in various campus ensembles. Performance opportunities include International Choir, Wayland Singers, Wayland Singing Men, Wayland Singing Women, Pioneer Band, Pep Band, Wayland Handbell Ensemble, The Brass Ensemble, Opera Theatre and Spirit. Contact Dr. Scott Herrington, Director of Choral Activities or Tim Kelley, Director of Instrumental Studies for more information.
