Every Master of Music degree includes both performance components (private lessons, jury exams, recitals, ensemble work) and academic coursework covering music theory, history, graduate-level research, writing, and elective studies.
As part of the University of Cincinnati, a leading research university with over 40,000 students, CCM benefits from this dynamic setting. This integration shapes the college's distinctive identity and mission: to cultivate complete artists and scholars prepared for global careers in the arts.
CCM alumni excel across all areas of performing arts and entertainment. They perform as soloists, work in chamber groups, and secure positions with prestigious ensembles worldwide, including symphony orchestras, opera companies, military bands, jazz ensembles, and beyond. Many graduates also establish private teaching studios or pursue further academic study.
