<p>The Bob Cole Conservatory at Long Beach only offers a BM.

<p>After reading the site, I think this is the program you want. (And I cannot even find the BA on the site.) The Long Beach composition BM program will have both “classical” composition, theory, history and so on, and technologie. Definitely apply to the BM program there! It looks great for you.</p>
<p>Note: A BA is a broader, more general degree with, usually 1/4-1/3 of your classes in music (sometimes as mucha s 1/2). A BM is a focused music degree with 2/3-3/4 of classes in music. Fewer classes in liberal arts and sciences, more of a performance focus.</p>
