Midwood students in the Humanities or Liberal Arts and Sciences Programs may be eligible to join the newly redesigned music track which leads to a specialized arts-endorsed diploma. Students who are interested in music are strongly encouraged to consider this exciting new opportunity regardless of prior music experience. The Arts-Endorsed Music Track provides students with space in their schedule to take music classes by reducing the number of foreign-language classes required to graduate.
