Music offerings at Columbia Basin College meet the requirements for the first two years of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees in music at most four-year institutions; enhance the musical knowledge and performance ability of students wishing to enter the professional field with an Associate in Arts degree; and provide general leisure activity.

Music majors should choose a major instrument or voice for performance emphasis and register for appropriate applied Music courses. Music majors should also register for the music theory sequence beginning with the fall quarter of their freshman year. All Music students are encouraged to participate in the performance groups. Students planning to major in Music must participate in at least one large performing group per quarter.

Career opportunities include the fields of music performance, teaching (public and private), composition, music ministry, music industry, music library studies, ethnomusicology, systematic musicology, music history, and music therapy.
