Overview

A Campus Where Music Matters

Hillsdale College’s Core Curriculum requirements will ensure that you receive a more balanced education than is offered by a traditional conservatory approach. And because Music is a campus-wide passion—25 percent of non-music majors belong to ensembles, and student performances consistently draw big crowds—you’ll have a wide circle of fellow performers and fans. We offer a wide range of performance opportunities, as well as master classes and clinics with eminent musicians who come to campus as part of our Professional Artists Series. Music is offered as both a major and minor.

The music curriculum at Hillsdale College has been developed to give students a broad knowledge of music’s function in our society and culture, to place music in a historical perspective, and to prepare students for careers in music or for admission to graduate programs in music. It has also been designed to allow students the option to double major in music and another chosen discipline.
