School of Music
The School of Music offers majors in worship or performance and also cooperates with the School of Teacher Education to offer the elementary/secondary vocal music education major. Mid-America Christian University continues to provide music programs for those individuals interested in studying music at the graduate level, students who are preparing for church staff positions that guide the worship experiences for local congregations, or those who want to develop skill in performance or composition.
Students in the elementary/secondary vocal music education program find their skill and knowledge prepare them for a career in teaching music in K-12 schools. Student musicians pursuing degree programs other than music can continue their participation and study in music through applied lessons, ensembles, and other courses in music.
Other majors allow students to build a program with a strong music core combined with an emphasis in youth, missions, Christian education, family ministries. A multidisciplinary approach provides for a duel major in business and music.
