Did we mention last year’s graduating class of music educators had nearly 100 percent job placement?
Our students can choose from multiple paths to achieve their educational goals. Some opt for an international experience and decide to study for a semester at the prestigious Zoltán Kodály Pedagogical Institute of Music in Kecskemét, Hungary. Upon graduation, many go on to teach in Ohio and around the country. Others continue their studies at some of the finest graduate schools in the nation.
