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 size - substantial 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 students, faculty, and visiting artists with a dynamic space for creating outstanding music, fostering artistic development, investigating teaching approaches, and pioneering research. Organized into specialized study areas with dedicated leadership, the school boasts faculty members including 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.
