Degree Programs

The Schwob School of Music offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in a broad range of majors designed to accommodate a variety of musical interests.

Bachelor of Music In Performance

The performance degree has instruction offered for piano, organ, voice, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, horn, euphonium, trombone, tuba, violin, viola, cello, string bass, guitar or percussion and is designed for the student who plans to teach at the university level or perform professionally. 

Bachelor of Music in Music Education

The preparation of elementary and secondary school teachers is accomplished through the joint efforts of the College of Education and the academic divisions of the university. Because the programs are tightly structured, students must begin a planned program of their choice as soon as possible after they enroll at Columbus State University. Music education students will spend one semester in full-time teaching activities under the supervision of a classroom teacher in the public schools.

Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy

The performance program with an emphasis in Piano Pedagogy, offers a comprehensive program with supervised teaching experience at all levels, as well as the study of teaching theories, and is designed for the student who plans to teach at the university level or perform professionally.
