Welcome to The University of Akron School of Music website!

Celebrate! Discover!

With more than 400 majors, we are one of the 50 largest public university schools of music in the United States. Our 28 full-time and 38 part-time faculty are dedicated to helping you discover your future in the many diverse fields of music. Our programs include bachelor degrees in music composition, education, performance, , jazz studies, and history/literature. We also offer the Master of Music degree in composition, history/literature, performance, music education, technology and theory.

This is a transition year for the School of Music. We are in the process of becoming a unit in the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences. This reorganization is part of the Vision 2020 strategic plan for the university and is designed to better position the school as we move into the new learning climate of the 21st Century. For those of you interested in music, you won’t find that this administrative change will affect you at all. We remain one of the best opportunities for you to explore your potential in the field of music.

Our All-Steinway School campaign is well underway and we have added more than 20 new pianos to our inventory. If you would like to know more about the campaign or contribute, please visit https://commerce.cashnet.com/MUSICFUND

I encourage you to take some time to surf our website. Discover your potential in our programs. And we welcome you to join us in celebrating the successes of the faculty, students and alumni of The University of Akron School of Music!
