The University of Iowa School of Music has long been recognized as one of the excellent university-based schools of music in the United States, having an international reputation within the fine arts community.  The school's on-campus enrollment of approximately 450 students majoring in music is large enough to sustain strong programs in all areas of specialization, yet small enough to ensure the individual attention essential to each student's development.  The faculty consists of highly trained artist-teachers in each area of specialization.   The school's undergraduate curricula offer all qualified students, whether music majors or nonmajors, the opportunity for further study of music. In addition to its comprehensive course offerings for majors, the school provides a substantial selection of courses especially recommended for nonmajors.   The graduate curricula are designed primarily as preparation for teaching in secondary schools, colleges, and universities and for careers in performance.   The School of Music is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. The requirements for entrance and for graduation are in accordance with the published standards of the National Association of Schools of Music.

The University of Iowa is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution
