<p>jazz studies has nothing to do with juilliard or the exchange, though i believe if you play jazz, you can participate in parts of the exchange.</p>
<p>jazz studies is interdisciplinary focusing as much on jazz culture and history, if you major in music some more technical courses are required, but it also appeals to those with limited interest in academic music. </p>
<p>jazz studies also oversees the jazz performance program - which has a variety of ensembles, you can be in a jazz ensemble even if you don’t major in music or do the jazz concentration.</p>
