MyCwuIn CWU’s music department, we like to say that teaching is a performing art, and that performing is a team sport. Our professors are world-renowned professional musicians who are dedicated to nurturing your particular talent. And we offer many opportunities to join ensembles, choirs, or groups, because nothing develops your musicianship more than performing with other musicians. CWU offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music.
The Jerilyn S. McIntyre Music Building was designed and built specifically for our music program. Both the visual and acoustical qualities of our building have raised the bar for educational facilities across the country. The 600-seat Concert Hall provides an unparalleled environment for musical performances.
