The music major functions on an open course count model. Students craft a curricular plan, in close consultation with a faculty advisor, that draws on three key areas of study (PDF): 1) critical engagement with the roots and lineages of multiple music traditions, 2) creative practice with the tools and techniques that structure sounds into forms, and 3) performance via individual instruction and/or ensemble participation. This framework centers student agency, maximizes curricular flexibility, and offers major and minor pathways as vibrant and varied as the students we serve.
Acceptance Rate:
Dartmouth College, including its Department of Music, has a highly selective undergraduate admissions process, with an overall acceptance rate of around 5.3% for the Class of 2028, and a regular decision acceptance rate of 3.8%.
