Academics

We offer undergraduate and graduate music programs. As a WMU piano student, you may pursue a bachelor's degree in a variety of areas such as performance, music education, composition or music therapy. Graduate degrees that are offered include the Master of Music degree, a Master of Arts degree and a Graduate Certificate in Music Performance. For more information regarding the process, consult the Irving S. Gilmore School of Music's Graduate Studies webpage.
