Mission Statement for the Mitchell Community College Music Department
The Music Department seeks to prepare students with a foundation for a career in music while offering educational enrichment that meets the lifelong learning needs of a diverse citizenry.
Start your career in music at Mitchell with an Associate in Fine Arts in Music degree. Our accredited program prepares you for transfer to a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree.
The Associate in Fine Arts in Music to Bachelor of Music Articulation Agreement (AFA in Music to BM) is an agreement jointly created by the North Carolina Community College System AFA in Music programs and the University of North Carolina System/the North Carolina Independent College and Universities BM programs. The AFA in Music to BM is focused on facilitating the transfer process for students who begin music studies at a community college and then transfer to one of the UNC System BM programs.
