The comprehensive music program is designed to meet the educational requirements of students, whether they are preparing to earn a music degree, interested in private instruction for a specific instrument, or seeking to fulfill general education credits. The A.F.A. degree (Associate of Fine Arts) prepares students to transfer to a four-year music program with the intent of pursuing a bachelor’s in music.  All music courses at Chattanooga State are open to all students regardless of their program of study.
