Every Master of Music program includes both performance components (private lessons, board 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 this dynamic setting, shaping its distinctive mission: to cultivate complete artists and scholars prepared for global careers in the arts.
CCM alumni thrive across all sectors 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 establish private teaching studios or pursue further advanced degrees.
