FSCC Music
This music curriculum provides the student planning to major in music with the general education courses and specialized music study for continued post-secondary training in music education, performance, theory and composition. Students planning to transfer to a four-year school must check that school's course requirements. Students should consult with counselors in planning specific courses.
Fort Scott Community College has a variety of music activities for students. Students need not be music majors to participate in the events;
however, they must have permission of the director. Members will perform at collegiate and community events. Scholarships are available through the Endowment Association for the FSCC Music Department.
