Music has a long legacy on the main campus of Aurora University. At the founding of the college in 1893, music was one of the first of four majors offered to students. Currently, Aurora offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Musical Theatre, as well as a minor in music. Students are invited to participate in ensembles and private study regardless of their major. Music talent scholarships are awarded to students annually.
