Every Master of Music program includes both performance components (private lessons, jury exams, recitals, ensemble work) and academic coursework covering music theory, history, graduate-level research and writing, plus elective music studies.
As part of the University of Cincinnati - a leading research university with over 40,000 students - CCM benefits from being embedded within this comprehensive public institution. This distinctive setting shapes CCM's mission: to cultivate complete artists and scholars prepared for global careers in the arts.
CCM alumni establish careers across all areas of performing arts and entertainment. They excel as solo performers, chamber musicians, and members of prestigious ensembles worldwide, including symphony orchestras, opera companies, military bands, jazz groups, and beyond. Many graduates also become private instructors or pursue further advanced studies.
