Roane State Community College

The AFA Music degree is being phased out, with a May 2024 end date. Continuously enrolled students have until this date to complete the requirements.  New Students should select the new major of Associate of Science – Music. 

Students may transfer into any music-related major (performance, education, composition, musicology, therapy, etc.) from this degree program. Details of appropriate instrument and ensemble study must be discussed with a faculty advisor.

Students who follow this academic plan will receive an Associate of Fine Arts.
