The conservatory offers 11 imaginative undergraduate and graduate degree programs as well as music minor options. Our courses provide a strong foundation in musicianship; supportive one-to-one instruction in instrumental, jazz, piano and voice; and a broad range of performing ensembles. In class and in our communities, we demonstrate how music is central to the world’s many economies, cultures and stories.
Our undergraduates gain experiences typically reserved for graduate students elsewhere. Whether as an operatic or musical theater lead in our productions, a member of a jazz combo or a partner in our student run Pac Ave recording label, our students grow individually as leaders and together as collaborators. If you are interested in a music major, minor or double major, either within the conservatory or in another area of study, we will help you create your path.
Our faculty includes performers, composers and scholars who are deeply committed to helping students grow as individuals, citizens and musicians. They are actively involved in renowned music organizations, programs and events in the U.S. and abroad. They are involved, collaborative and compassionate toward each other and our students, even as they set clear academic expectations. Our students often choose Pacific precisely to study with a specific mentor.
