Ribbon cutting ceremony for Mary B. McMahan Hall (3.27.09)

The School of Music is proud of its long tradition of high quality music instruction. Our self-selected enrollment of 200 undergraduate music majors is the right size for students to receive personal attention from our 47 artist faculty members, while at the same time having opportunities possible through a full scale music operation. We provide students with a wide variety of first-class performing opportunities - symphony orchestra, band, choirs, opera, musical theater, jazz, chamber music, and solo.

The curriculum includes degree options in
performance, education, theory and composition, as well as enabling students to combine the study of music with the wide variety of other academic programs on our campus. Music students combine music study with business, pre-law and many other fields. We are proud of our ability to combine the strengths of a music conservatory education with the variety added by being a part of a liberal arts university.

The School of Music has been an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1938.
