This is the official page for MSU's Division of Music. Students, faculty, alumni and friends can find news & information about events here.
In keeping with the university mission, the MSU Division of Music is first and foremost dedicated to the success of all students, to engaged and life-long learning, to the advancement of knowledge, service and to the development of student character. We seek to provide courses of study and performance opportunities that foster aesthetic, technical and intellectual development for the performer and teacher alike.
The Division of Music is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and endorsed by National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. With 18 highly qualified music faculty members, we offer a comprehensive and personalized curriculum for all students.
Activities throughout the academic year place our students side by side with an array of international, national and local professionals. Partnerships such as the Western Plains Opera, the Minot Symphony Orchestra, the Dakota Chamber Music, IBLA Artists in Residence, along with numerous guest artists and teachers provide an urban-connected awareness to our goal to “be seen, be heard”.
