When Alyssa Moreau applied and auditioned for music programs, most universities told her she had to choose between studying performance or focusing on another facet of the music industry.
The University of South Carolina told her she could do both.
Now a freshman at Carolina, the saxophone player from Greensboro, North Carolina, is part of a new degree program in the School of Music that allows her to expand her major of music performance with a concentration in music technology.
It’s one of several new degree programs the university offers that illustrate new, creative curricula by adding innovation, an entrepreneurial approach or other types of value to traditional degrees.
