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.
