Overview

Each year, the University of Nebraska Omaha's School of Music enrolls more than 200 undergraduate and graduate students. Our Bachelor of Music with K-12 Certification's innovative curriculum in fundamental music skills offers a solid foundation in theory, history and analysis. Students can put this knowledge to use while still in school, as part of on-campus and community performing groups.

The School of Music is one of three schools within the College of Communication, Fine Arts, and Media. It is located in the newly renovated Janet A. and Willis S. Strauss Performing Arts Center, which is nestled near the focal point of the campus, a campanile that houses a carillon of forty-seven bells.

The complex itself boasts a tunable 420 seat concert hall and 100 seat recital hall, impressive acoustic isolation, recording studio, and well-equipped classrooms and rehearsal spaces. The center serves as a nexus of musical activity not only for the university, but for the city of Omaha as well.

Career
