Music Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the University of Mary Washington we believe that a vibrant musical community should be at the heart of a dynamic liberal arts institution. Major in music and you\u2019ll engage your mind, body and senses \u2013 but the benefits don\u2019t stop with you. You\u2019ll share the gift of music whether through composition, education or performance. Go beyond core courses to discover what moves you most, then pursue it with passion. All the while you\u2019ll gain the critical thinking and communications skills to prepare you for graduate study or a career in music right out of college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please consult the UMW Undergraduate Catalog<\/a> for specific and up-to-date major requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate outcome data is collected by the UMW Career Center each year. The data is then broken down by major in order to determine how many graduates in each major are employed, attending graduate school, or pursuing a different path within 6 months of graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“Knowledge Rate<\/strong>” describes the percent of graduates for which the institution has reasonable and verifiable information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Career Outcomes Rate<\/strong>” describes the number of graduates who have landed in any of the employment categories (full-time, part-time, internship) in addition to service, military, and continuing education divided by the total number of students for whom an outcome is known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
