Why Study Music at Samford?

We are committed to developing whole musicians by developing whole people.
We accomplish this by fusing musical gifts with ambition, passion, integrity and professionalism in a supportive and creative community led by highly qualified faculty. Comprehensive and challenging music training is combined with business, arts and scholarship-infused classes from the School of the Arts core curriculum, known as Catalyst. Immersive and collaborative opportunities allow students to put music into action by performing, teaching, composing and worshiping on and off campus.
