About
Rigorous and stimulating in nature, the study of music at OSU provides an environment that both challenges you to reach your artistic potential and prepares you to function in various capacities within the professional world of music. Large enough to offer you rewarding performance opportunities, the department is also small enough to provide you with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. You have the opportunity here to work one-on-one with faculty who are nationally and internationally renowned artists and music scholars and truly dedicated to and invested in the success of each individual student. The program also leads you toward a Oklahoma State Teacher's Certificate.
Courses to expect for this major include Music History, Music Theory, Large and Chamber Ensembles, Opera, Jazz Studies, and Marching Band Methods.
Career Options

- Teaching in public schools
- University positions as faculty and conductors

- Music industry/commercial artist
