Wilfrid Laurier University has updated its Bachelor of Music program to offer greater flexibility and inclusivity and equip learners for career success. The revamped program includes lessons in both classical and contemporary genres, with opportunities for cross-training, mentorship, and collaboration. It will also introduce a “Navigating the Music Industry Ecosystem” certificate, equipping learners with essential business knowledge for industry success. “This updated curriculum is about more than just music; it’s about empowering students to shape their musical identity, explore new opportunities, and thrive in a global, interconnected world,” said WLU Faculty of Music Dean Cynthia Johnston Turner. The updated program will begin in Fall 2025.
