CU Boulder College of Music

CU Boulder College of Music The University of Colorado College of Music offers programs for undergraduate and graduate study.

Since 1920, the University of Colorado Boulder College of Music offers a wide range of programs for undergraduate and graduate study, integrating advanced musical and interdisciplinary training with professional-level experiences. One of the top comprehensive music schools in the country, the College of Music is a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Our college

is situated within an internationally recognized research university in one of America’s top 10 “best places to live” (U.S. News & World Report); Boulder, Colorado—among America’s smartest cities (Forbes)—is also America’s happiest (National Geographic) and healthiest (Gallup) city. Our students earn more than a music degree in the foothills of the Rockies: Diverse opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and a spirit of inclusive excellence await you! We develop multiskilled, multifaceted universal musicians who are well-equipped to participate in the 21st century as artists, educators and scholars; as broadly based professionals with flexible career options; and as passionate, compassionate world citizens. Our faculty are deeply dedicated pedagogues, award-winning performers, scholars and composers who are standing by to support your success—whether your passion is to teach, perform, compose, research or rethink music entirely.
