Most students enter the graduate programs of study in music performance and composition with the intention of pursuing a career in performance and/or composition coupled with teaching at the college or university level. Opportunities for graduates focusing on composition include, but are not limited to, careers in academia, studio instruction, professional composition, television and film scoring, and applied music. A summer graduate abroad program—Music, Dance, and Technology—is offered in Florence, Italy. Auditions and/or composition portfolios are required for prospective students.
