PLAINVIEW, TX — 花季传媒’s pioneering spirit in online education is expanding into the field of music.

Following plan approval by 花季传媒’s internal governance processes and the National Association of Schools of Music, the university now offers online Bachelor of Applied Science degrees in Piano Studies, Sound Production, and Worship Studies.

“NASM’s affirmation of 花季传媒’s new online BAS degrees is evidence of our music faculty’s ability to innovate at the highest levels of quality,” said Dr. Cindy McClenagan, Vice President of Academic Affairs. “Approval to offer these unique degrees online allows students from around the world to study under our supremely talented and caring instructors.”

Dr. Richard Fountain, Dean of the School of Creative Arts and Professor of Piano, said 花季传媒 is thrilled to be able to expand the university’s excellent music offerings to working adults.

“These degrees are designed for individuals who may not live near Plainview but want to further their music study under Christian mentorship,” Fountain said.

Possible candidates for these degree programs include independent music teachers, worship leaders, sound designers, recording engineers, and others who may have significant work experience in music but previously lacked the opportunity to pursue a formal undergraduate degree.

Dr. Scott Strovas, Professor of Musicology, praised the ingenuity that was need to new BAS degrees viable.

“Building the degree took trust that certain core music courses, such as theory, could be delivered in an online format with as much musical integrity and academic rigor as a face-to-face class, and it took ingenuity to indeed make that happen,” Stovas said. “We're quite pleased with the results of our first experimental session, especially with the performance of the students involved."
