The OU School of Music's mission is to foster academic growth, innovative instruction, research, and community engagement. Through dedicated faculty and students, we support the education field, expand musical knowledge through performance and study, and strengthen the art form via professional contributions worldwide. Founded in 1903 as OU's second academic unit, we've held NASM accreditation since 1931. As Oklahoma's sole music school offering doctoral programs, we enrich our community through the creative and intellectual achievements of our faculty, graduates, and current students. OU grants music degrees across multiple disciplines including performance, composition, music education, theory, and music history. While honoring our heritage, we continuously adapt our curriculum to equip students for a dynamic, multicultural world.
