Our graduates have gone on to teach in private schools, run their own private studios, work in arts management, succeeding in careers both in and out of the arts because of the skills they developed through our program.
“My professors spoke to me on a deep level about the benefit of having a strong work ethic and personal accountability — and how that can pay off. They taught me countless lessons about the value of pushing yourself every day. I have found that this isn’t the norm in the industry, but at CWU, you learn that work ethic is everything.” Alumni Antonio Fernandez attended CWU from 2012 to 2015 and went on to perform in Disney’s a cappella group, DCappella.
