This degree program prepares students for transfer to a four-year baccalaureate degree in music or a music-related field. It includes a strong core component of mathematics/science, social sciences, and humanities.
The program also serves the student interested in an associate’s degree as a terminal degree before pursuing employment in music or a music-related career. Students from other areas of study such as communications, multimedia, theatre, education, arts management, sound recording, audio engineering, and therapy find JCC’s course offerings useful.
Full- and part-time students are welcome to participate in music courses and ensembles.

Important Points
Students interested in transferring to a four-year music degree program should be aware of the following:
- Successful completion of a credit-bearing mathematics course is a graduation requirement.
- At the discretion of the college, a limited number of JCC music courses may be made available to multiple JCC campuses as traditional or distance learning courses. Courses delivered in the distance learning format will be indicated in the master schedule.
- Although the JCC program is endorsed by specific four-year colleges, schools of music will audition all entering freshman and transfer students from any other school in the following areas: solo performance, aural skills, written theory, and, often, piano skills. JCC students should consult with their advisor and prospective transfer school(s) to ensure that they are covering these important areas as required.
- Students should consult with their advisor in their choice of additional music electives to better prepare for transfer or employment.
