Alumni

The number of our music alumni has been on an upward swing for some time. This growth in enrollment has resulted both from an increased awareness of and interest in music at the University. It has also resulted from the new directions our program has taken, especially during the past decade. These have included developing strengths in Critical and Comparative Studies in Music, and in Composition (especially using new technologies) as well as strengthening and broadening student performance opportunities. Moreover, we have recently instituted the first Ph.D. program in music in the history of the Commonwealth.

Because of the balance provided by the University's liberal arts training, many of our alumni are thriving, whether they have gone on to advanced training in music, to music-related jobs, or to other fields. Recent graduates have gone on to other institutions such as Stanford, UCLA, and Juilliard to further their work in music. Some have opted for careers in administration, communications, and digital media and technology. We are extremely proud to have interacted with so many University students through music.
