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, writing, and elective music studies.
As part of the University of Cincinnati - a leading research university with over 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students - CCM benefits from this dynamic environment. This integration within a large public university shapes CCM's distinctive identity and mission: to cultivate complete artists and scholars prepared for global careers in the arts.
