The Music Program at the University of the District of Columbia provides an exciting and challenging educational environment for students to extend their musical training and join a vibrant community of performers and educators. With degree offerings in Music Education, Music Performance, Jazz Studies, and Gospel Studies (the only university in the D.C. area to offer such a degree), our graduates are prepared to continue their musical studies at the graduate level, or begin their career as a teacher, performer, composer/arranger, or church musician/music ministry). Our graduates have also continued their professional studies in the fields of music therapy, arts management, library and information science and sound engineering. These career paths are supported by experienced, student-centered faculty dedicated to student success. Furthermore, the Music Program’s ensembles, open (by audition) to all students and community members, provide students and area musicians the opportunity to pursue their musical interests and expand their skills within a shared musical community across the rich cultural life of Washington, D.C.
