A wide variety of performance opportunities await our students each year, with orchestras, bands, choirs and opera, jazz nonets and combos, small ensembles, and more.
A variety of programs and initiatives operate continuously or annually to enhance learning experiences and help students prepare for their future in music.
The MSU College of Music supports and challenges students, values innovation and creativity, and helps every community member achieve professional excellence.
A Master of Music degree (MM) in music education or choral conducting can be completed in just three summers. You’ll learn from and interact with some of the nation’s leading music educators, performers, and conductors. Both programs are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. Course details are found on the Summer MM Courses page. You may also take individual courses without seeking a degree by enrolling as a Lifelong Education student through MSU.
Scholarship assistance for Music Education majors is available through the New Directions Summer Scholars Program and for Choral Conducting conductors through choral scholarships for out-of-state students.
