  • On-campus performance opportunities in 11 faculty-directed ensembles and more than 15 chamber ensembles (ranging from our faculty-directed marching band, symphonic orchestra, and touring choir to chamber ensembles like string quartets, woodwind quintets, flute choir, trumpet ensemble, and chamber singers).
  • Collaboration opportunities with a team of faculty, staff, and students on creation and management of various departmental social media platforms.

Career Outcomes
  • If you are like 96% of Grove City College graduates, you will be prepared to compete for full-time employment or pursue graduate-level education at some of the best schools nationwide.
    • Many of our music business graduates pursue careers in arts management, events management, sales, communication, marketing, and mass media within the arts and music fields. 
    • Others pursue further education at such prestigious institutions as the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and Carl H. Lindner College of Business, Arizona State University School of Law, Belmont University, Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University School of Law, George Mason University, and Penn State University. 
  • Wherever your music career takes you, you will have the skillset, real-world experience, and grounded perspective to positively influence the music industry and glorify God with your gifts. 
Audition Information

An audition for admission into the music program is required for music majors and minors. For comprehensive audition information, please refer to Instructions for Music Applicants.
