ONECCM - The Path Forward

ONECCM UnCompromising Excellence

FROM DEAN LANDGREN The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music is excellent in so many ways – from our internationally-renowned faculty, magnificent student performances and alumni successes to our distinctively diverse programs and award–winning facilities – CCM is without a doubt a preeminent institution for the performing and media arts.

ONECCM – The Path Forward unites all disciplines within this college under one common vision, building on our individual strengths to create an even better CCM… ONECCM! The future is bright as ONECCM brings together all constituents of our creative and artistic college into a united team, providing us with a clear path forward that is unceasingly student-centric, enhances collaboration, creates a more nimble and effective organization and makes CCM sustainably excellent for generations to come. Differentiation is the key, and ONECCM – The Path Forward is the way that the College-Conservatory of Music will forever be the highly polished gem in the crown of the University of Cincinnati.
