Direction Musicale

The UCA Department of Music is an artistic community of over 220 music majors who participate in over 25 different student ensembles that include the spirited Bear Marching Band, the electrifying Conway Symphony Orchestra, the award-winning Concert Choir, and a host of other large and small ensembles.

Our music ensembles have traveled to Spain, Japan, England, Italy, China, and Austria, and the UCA Wind Ensemble recently performed at Carnegie Hall. UCA boasts a faculty of 50 artists, music academicians, and staff who have studied at the most prestigious universities and conservatories in the world. With a specialist for every aspect of the music curriculum, the Department of Music makes it possible for students to reach their highest potential.

In the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences we strengthen this by emphasizing a diverse and global curriculum and real-world learning activities, such as: art exhibitions, study abroad experiences, live performances, internships, undergraduate research projects, creative writing workshops, film festivals, service-learning courses, and many more.

If students want to advance their education here, we offer graduate programs in Creative Writing, English, Film, History, Music, and Spanish. Our faculty are ready and willing to assist you with these decisions and provide you with input necessary for you to make an informed decision about your course of study.
