School of Music

The UNCG School of Music is home to over 600 music majors and 60 distinguished faculty members. Music has been a central discipline at UNCG since the university's founding. The school was the first in the South to offer an undergraduate music education degree (1912). The North Carolina High School Music Contest Festival - the precursor of today's influential North Carolina Music Educators Association - arose on campus during the 1920s.
The UNCG School of Music has been fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1938. The school offers the only comprehensive music program from undergraduate through doctoral study in performance and music education in North Carolina. It is continually recognized as one of the best music institutions in the United States.
