Faculty Mentoring
The most common reason students choose º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï is the ability to develop impactful relationships with their professors. For a student in the arts at º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï, this means working directly with professors in private lessons, receiving personal critiques in intimate classroom settings, and simply having the ability and familiarity to drop by a professor's office, sit down, and receive influential advice.
I love knowing that if I need help or support, I will always have friends and faculty by my side. From my first visit on campus, I knew º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï was where I belonged.

Outcomes & Placement
Graduation is just the beginning. Whether they’re performing music, teaching music, or working in the music industry, our alumni are utilizing the advantages of their º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï education. While our alumni experience success across the arts, our music education majors had a 100% placement rate after six months this past year.
At º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï, I never felt invisible or that no one cared about my success. I truly feel that everyone, especially the music faculty, was as invested in watching me succeed as I was, and that was incredibly reassuring.
