New College of Florida

Students are encouraged to integrate approaches to music and sound across academic and artistic disciplines and areas of study to achieve the breadth that a liberal arts institution makes possible. Students also combine music with another AOC or study music as part of an AOC in Humanities, Liberal Arts, or a Special Program AOC created by the student (Media Studies, Sound Studies, Performance Studies). Courses in Music range widely, and include such topics as Music Theory; Electronic Composition; Opera, Ballet, and the Supernatural; Sound Studies; Popular Music and Societies of the Hispanic Caribbean; and Music and the Environment. Relevant coursework in fields from Anthropology, Sociology, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science, English, Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, and Biology are encouraged, for exampmle, Anthropology of Performance or Sociology of the Arts.
