The departments of music offer traditional conservatory-based performance degrees at both the master's and doctoral levels in orchestral instruments, voice, and piano as well as graduate degrees in pedagogy of piano.

Doctoral degrees are offered in musicology, and in composition, which has both concert and stage music concentrations. We offer degrees in Sacred Music at the master's and doctoral levels with emphases in choral conducting, organ or composition. The master of arts in teaching provides certification for students who wish to enter teaching as a profession but who did not complete an undergraduate degree in education.
