Music and World Cultures Major (B.A.)


The Music and World Cultures degree program brings together elements of the current B.A. degrees in Music and International Studies. This program is designed to equip the next generation of music missionaries, cross-cultural worship leaders, and ethnomusicologists to serve in diverse cultural settings around the world. Over the course of study the student will gain an understanding of ethnic music culture that facilitates the use of indigenous music in cross-cultural communication, ministry, and worship. Emphasis is given to practical leadership through analysis of diverse cultures, intercultural communication and anthropology, combined with a biblical understanding of the church and its mission. Music and World Cultures majors will complete a semester long cross-cultural internship in their area of interest. Crown College is the only college in the Midwest that offers this degree program and only the second one in the nation.

Program Requirements

I. Christian Studies - 24 Credits


General Education Core


II. General Education - 40 Credits


Major Core


IV. Electives - 11 Credits *


At least 30% of this degree, or a minimum of 38 credits, must be at the upper (300-400) level. If you choose to take lower-level Christian Studies core classes (CHM 201  or CHM 210 ), then you must take enough upper-level classes in your minor or concentration to meet this requirement.

* Some courses from the Christian Studies Core and Major Core can be used to fulfill requirements in the General Education Core. By doing that the number of electives needed would increase so that the minimum of 125 credits is reached.
