Conducting Studies

So you want to pursue advanced studies in choral conducting? I hope you find this new resource helpful. You’ll discover 120 MM programs, 52 DMA programs, and 10 certificate programs in choral conducting in the United States. While the focus is on graduate conducting programs, there are three institutions (Loyola Marymount, UMass Amherst, and the University of Southern California) that offer undergraduate degrees or certificates in choral conducting.

Click on the name of the institution and you will be taken to their website. Each entry contains the degrees offered, faculty, and any additional information provided by my colleagues. This project is a work-in-progress. If you do not see your program listed, please complete the Choral Studies Program Listing Form to be added. If you wish to change your current listing, complete this form. I will eventually expand the list to include choral programs around the world, beginning with Canada and Europe. Many thanks to my TA, Gil Wermeling, for his help.

Enjoy learning about these terrific programs and faculty. Best wishes to all!
