- Collaboration Opportunities: Our program offers varied ways for you to work closely and share ideas with peers. You’ll collaborate with Music and Theater Arts students and may choose to participate in Musical Theater classes and productions.
- Success After Graduation: Our Music graduates excel in a range of careers: performance, studio teaching, technical music production, community ensemble directing, church music positions, college and high school teaching, and non-music fields. Some also pursue graduate school.
