Sacred Music Specialization
The Sacred Music Specialization is designed for the development of sacred music leadership skills through applied lessons, directed coursework, ensemble, and Church/Synagogue experience while acquiring a foundation in Judeo-Christian thought and practice through biblical, history, comparative, systematic, liturgical, moral and spiritual theology. It will assist students pursuing future graduate studies in Music, Theology, or Sacred Music; provide background for students to lead their music ministry in various religious settings, and elementary and secondary schools, as well as other professional education.
