Marshall University Department of Music
Named after John Marshall, the great Chief Justice of the United States, Marshall Academy was established in 1837. Marshall became a University in 1961 and has since grown tremendously, particularly in the 1990's which saw the construction of the state-of-the-art Drinko Library, Jomie Jazz Center, and the addition of the Graduate College.
Marshall University Students have outstanding opportunities to study and perform music in an attractive environment with world class faculty at the Department of Music in the College of Fine Arts. The Department of Music is housed in Smith Music Building and Jomie Jazz Center. Among these facilities is the newly renovated Smith Recital Hall and classrooms, a 24-track recording facility, music technology lab, music library, faculty offices, and practice rooms.
Music majors may pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music degree with concentrations in performance, composition, jazz studies, or theory as they prepare for career entry or graduate study in those areas. The Master of Arts in Music degree offers areas of emphasis in education, history/literature, performance and theory/composition. The Music Minor offers a program of organized study for students seeking degrees in other disciplines. Directed through the College of Education and Human Services, the Bachelor of Arts in Music Education and the Master of Arts in Teaching lead to certification as a comprehensive music teacher in grades Pre-K - Adult.
