Music has been integral part of the cultural life of the Xavier community since its inception in 1915. When Xavier became a four-year institution in 1925, the program was known as a School of Music. Around 1934 when the music unit began to offer a major program of studies in music, it became a department in the College of Arts and Sciences.
