Music Department at HCC

The Howard Community College Music Department endeavors to meet the musical needs and interests of the area through its academic degree programs, performance mediums, and enrichment opportunities.

Music Department News
Howard Community College Music Department is pleased to announce the completion of an Articulation Agreement with Immaculata University in Pennsylvania for music students who are interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in music therapy.  Music students who complete HCC’s associate of arts in music and the music therapy letter of recognition can now transfer all earned credits and be admitted to Immaculata University as a junior.  Currently, there are no four-year colleges in the State of Maryland that offer a bachelor’s degree in music therapy. This agreement provides a much-needed option for Maryland students who are interested in pursuing a career in music therapy. For more details and information about the articulation or music therapy courses at HCC, please contact Rita Mayhew at rmayhew@howardcc.edu, or visit our Music Therapy page at http://www.howardcc.edu/Visitors/MusicInstitute/Faculty/musictherapy.html.
