贝勒音乐学院：美国顶级音乐学府的摇篮

自 1845 年贝勒大学在曾经的德克萨斯共和国建校以来，音乐一直是贝勒大学的一部分。然而直到 1921 年秋天贝勒大学音乐学院才以独立院系的形式创立。 最初，在德克萨斯州独立村的时间里，以及后来在韦科的十七年里，音乐项目仅仅作为一项丰富社区文化的活动而存在。 1903年，它才被提升为可以授予学位的研学项目。 十五年后，第一次世界大战结束后不久，音乐系与表现系合并成立了美术学院。 最后，随着 1921 年秋季课程的开设，贝勒董事会认为应该解散新成立的美术学院并创建音乐与美术学院，而表演系则转移到文理学院。

Music has been a part of Baylor from its very beginnings in 1845 under the Republic of Texas, but only since the fall of 1921 has it been administered through an independently constituted school of the university. Initially—throughout the years at Independence, Texas, and for seventeen more in Waco—the music program subsisted solely as a cultural enrichment venture. Then, in 1903, it was elevated to a degree-granting department. A decade and a half later, shortly after the end of the First World War, the Department of Music joined with the Department of Expression to form the College of Fine Arts. Finally, effective with the opening of fall classes in 1921, Baylor trustees saw fit to dissolve the newly formed College of Fine Arts and create the School of Music and Fine Arts, with the Department of Expression being transferred to the College of Arts and Sciences.贝勒大学音乐学院为学生们提供超过十个不同领域的专业方向，包括双专业和辅修项目。更多有关贝勒音乐学院专业方向的信息，请访问音乐学院官网。
