School of Music

The School of Music enjoys a strong and enduring reputation in the education of musicians in our undergraduate and graduate programs by maintaining a rich tradition of instruction in musicology, theory, composition, education, pedagogy, church music, and performance studies.

Accelerate

The Baylor University School of Music provides transformational experiences that prepare students for careers in music. Our students thrive in a Christian environment characterized by a nurturing resident faculty, an unwavering pursuit of musical excellence, a global perspective, dedication to service, and devotion to faith.

For this mission to succeed, the School of Music relies on the Baylor Family’s support of the Core Four — the foundational funding areas that strengthen this work: scholarships, faculty funding, flexible excellence resources and program resourcing.

Student Scholarships

Few gifts more directly impact the life of a Baylor University student than a scholarship. These gifts open doors for students and fuel the school’s growth, innovation and opportunities.

Faculty Funding

Support for faculty scholarship and research brings renown to Baylor University and helps the School of Music attract and retain distinguished faculty. These faculty members mentor talented students and strengthen recruitment efforts by enhancing the quality of the educational experience. Endowed chairs and professorships provide enduring support that enables the School to flourish and expand Baylor's influence in music education and the arts.

Dean’s Excellence Fund

The Dean’s Excellence Fund helps the School of Music to anticipate and respond to the many needs that arise throughout an academic year. The fund’s flexible use format provides resources to quickly address emerging needs that are important to the success of Baylor Music and its students.

Program Resourcing

Giving to support student success programs, musical performances, student organizations and competition teams, and professional development activities provides flexible resources to meet needs as they arise.
