University of Missouri School of Music

The University of Missouri School of Music prepares students to make meaningful contributions in the world as performers, composers, teachers, and scholars. The School of Music offers professionally oriented bachelor’s and master’s degrees in performance (brass, percussion, piano, strings, voice, and woodwinds), composition, music education, music history, and music theory. Master’s degrees are also available in conducting (choral, orchestral, and wind ensemble), collaborative piano, and piano pedagogy, and the Ph.D. is offered in music education. Another music degree option is the Bachelor of Arts in music, a degree program attracting numerous double majors, students who combine study in music and another field, drawing from the numerous academic options available on the Mizzou campus. Two certificates are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in jazz and music entrepreneurship. These two extra credentials can be very helpful to performance majors and BA degree candidates in preparing for the job market as an entrepreneurial musician.
