About the program

The Central Connecticut State University Department of Music is one of the state’s leading training grounds for Connecticut’s future musical artists. The department offers bachelor degrees in Music and Music Education, and concentrations in Jazz Studies, Performance, and Theory/Composition. Many students in other degree programs choose to minor in music. CCSU’s Summer Music Institute—which celebrated its 30th year in 2014—is a unique graduate program, offering the Master of Music degree in Music Education to educators across the state and beyond. The students and faculty of the Department of Music contribute to the musical life of the campus and the community through performances both on and off campus. Entrance to the major is by competitive audition. Many music-oriented scholarships are available to incoming and transfer students.
