1 Philosophy

In a world that is threatened by economic recession and overbearing unemployment trend, one factor seems to be the panacea and that is vocational and service – oriented discipline like music.

Music, apart from being in itself a repository of cultural heritage, traditions, social values, is also a dynamic instrument for galvanizing social transformation, fostering better communication in the global village and a medium for spiritual development and attainment. It is also a scientific and aesthetic phenomenon, having multidisciplinary affiliations, thus making it endearing to all manners of people of world cultures. This program apart from providing recreation for human community will also jolt their inquisitive minds to consciousness of both intrinsic and extrinsic social-religious-moral values. It will provide manpower and expertise needed to operate in various capacities as music producer, artiste manager, record label personnel, concert recitalist/promoter, chamber musician, music teacher, church musician, music merchandise, recording studio engineer, music librarian, music technologist, music broadcaster/publisher and freelance/professional music performer.

About us

The Department of Music and Creative Arts is the fifth to be established in the School of Education and Humanities. The idea to have a Music programme running in Babcock University was mooted in 2004, and given an impetus through the Senate action in 2004 recommending that music personnel be employed to start the preliminaries to the establishment of the music programme. In the sequel, several curriculum proposals for Bachelor degree in Music were written and reviewed at the various levels of the university’s Curriculum Review Committee meetings. However, the university Senate formally approved the establishment of a Music degree awarding Department in June, 2012. Thereafter, in 2013, the University submitted its application to the National Universities Commission (NUC) and was given approval to run from the 2014/2015 academic year.
