The Earlham College Music Department offers a wide range of courses in music within the context of the liberal arts tradition. Our music majors study both Western and non-Western music, and students from all disciplines participate in our many classes and performing ensembles.

Music majors are able to pursue other areas of interest, including off-campus study and double majors in other fields. Grounded in a broad-based liberal arts curriculum, nearly half of Earlham alumni pursue advanced degrees within 10 years of graduation.
