About the Department of Music
 Located in the heart of Portland's thriving Cultural District, the Department of Music prepares students for a wide range of careers in music. We maintain close ties with the Oregon Symphony, Portland Opera, Portland Symphonic Choir, Portland Youth Philharmonic, and many other performing organizations. Our programs are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. No other institution in the state offers so many opportunities for young musicians. World-class musicians visit for performances and master classes in resident programs such as the PSU Piano Recital Series, Friends of Chamber Music, and the Portland Guitar Festival
We offer both traditional and innovative musical studies, including classical performance, jazz performance, music history, theory, conducting, composition and music education. Choose between the conservatory structure of the BM degree or the broader BA and BS degrees. Either way, you'll work with some of the finest professional musicians in the area. Graduate students can earn a MM in Performance or Conducting, MA or MS in Teaching. The Music Education Certification Program (K-12) is another option. For more information, please contact us at:
