Jazz Studies students are strongly urged to hone their abilities within a broad musical landscape while mastering the timeless works of jazz legends. The exclusive CSU Jazz Program provides students with greater personalized guidance and dedicated time with faculty mentors.
Participants acquire practical skills applicable to diverse performance careers, both within and beyond campus settings. The program features regular masterclasses and performances with renowned visiting artists. Previous guests have included jazz luminaries like John Fedchock, John Riley, Dave Pietro, Paul McKee, Walt Weiskopf, Scott Wendholt, Rich Perry, Greg Gisbert, Zach Brock, Erik Deutsch, Art Lande, Nguyen Le, Ron Miles, Michael Weiss, and numerous others.
Our two big bands and various small ensembles explore both traditional compositions and contemporary works, while students are challenged to compose and arrange original pieces for semesterly public performances. The Jazz Studies degree is presently offered exclusively for these instruments: trumpet, trombone, saxophone, piano, percussion, and double bass.

If your department accepts unofficial transcripts, you may be admitted and registered in your first semester of courses with an unofficial transcript. Official transcripts must be submitted, prior to or during your first semester, before you can register for your second semester of graduate work. Failure to meet this condition will result in your dismissal from the Graduate School.
You will need unofficial transcripts of all collegiate work completed post-high school. Separate transcripts are required for study abroad if the courses, grades, and credits are not recorded on the transcript of the university that sponsored the study abroad.
Training course transcripts from branches of the U.S. Military that show credit received with neither grades nor degrees awarded are exempt from the transcript requirements. You must upload the front and back of transcripts and include any grading scale provided.
In general, the minimum cumulative GPA for non-provisional admittance is a 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) to be admitted by the Graduate School.
