The Department of Music at UNC-Chapel Hill offers a BM and BA in Music Performance and an MA and Ph.D. in Musicology for undergraduate and graduate students. Our mission is to educate performance and musicology majors and to provide general music courses for non-major students.

We have a newly-renovated, state-of-the-art auditorium which includes recording (audio and video) as well as an improved lighting and sound system. We have a total of 60 full- and part-time faculty who teach approximately 2500 students during the academic year and another 200 during Summer School. Through our teaching, research, and creativity we share music’s multiplicity of forms and meanings, connecting the study of music to the larger understanding of societies, and affirming music’s importance as an expression of humanity.
