BACKGROUND NOTE
Music has been taught at South Dakota State University
since its founding in 1881. The department was first called the
Department of Music and Physical Culture. During the 1904-05 school
year, a four-year Department of Music was created with four faculty
members. Courses in piano, voice, stringed instruments, orchestra, pipe
organ, band instruments, and theoretical studies were available. The
courses were continued until the Great Depression years when the music
major was dropped. It was not reinstated until after World War II.
Once the music major was reinstated, course work in music went on much
as before. In addition to coursework, students interested in music
could participate in a number of extracurricular activities, including
chorus, orchestra, and band.
Significant curriculum changes occurred in 1975,
resulting in a growth in enrollment of music majors that included the
establishment of three-degree programs – BA in Music, BS in Music, BME
(Bachelor of Music Education), and the National Accreditation of the
Music Program.
According to the 1996-98 Bulletin, the Music Department
offers three-degree options: BA-Music Major, MS-Music Merchandising
Major, and Bachelor of Music Education. A Minor in Music is also
available.
