As a premier global institution, The Ohio State University provides extensive resources across its picturesque Columbus campus. Within this vibrant academic environment, the School of Music operates under the College of Arts and Sciences, serving as Ohio State's intellectual core. The school maintains an ideal balance - large enough to leverage the boundless opportunities of a top-tier university, yet intimate enough to address each student's personal needs. Established in the 19th century, the School of Music now provides a dynamic space for students, faculty, and visiting artists to create outstanding music, foster artistic development, investigate teaching approaches, and pioneer innovative research. Organized into specialized study areas, each led by dedicated directors, the school boasts faculty members who are acclaimed performers, composers, researchers, and educators, alongside expert lecturers. These professionals mentor about 300 undergraduate and 150 graduate music majors, plus numerous non-majors pursuing music minors, coursework, or ensemble participation.
