About Us

The mission of the Conservatory of Music at Chapman University is to provide an outstanding
education for the professional and intellectual development of artists and scholars in a
supportive, rigorous liberal arts environment that enriches the human mind and spirit.

The Conservatory of music offers the bachelor of arts in music and pre-professional programs leading to the bachelor of music in composition, music education, and performance (conducting, instrumental, keyboard collaborative arts and vocal).

Chapman University first offered the bachelor of music degree in 1930-31, and has striven to present thorough music curricula, blended with liberal learning ever since. The university’s music facilities compare with institutions far larger in size and offer a fine setting for both instruction and musical presentations. The Conservatory of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
