About Gordon College and the Department of Music

Gordon College is the preeminent Christian college in the global hub of higher education— widely respected for its commitment to bold intellectual inquiry, personal mentoring and academic rigor. Through a broad spectrum of liberal arts and sciences, students develop the intellectual scope and leadership skills to address the increasingly complex challenges of a global society.

Just north of Boston and only a few hours from the financial and political capitals of the Western world (New York and Washington, D.C.), the College is ideally situated to offer students extraordinary access to leading-edge opportunities for professional and leadership development. Gordon stands apart from other outstanding institutions in New England by combining an exceptional education with an informed Christian faith.

The Gordon College Department of Music strives to graduate students fully equipped for success in today’s complex and ever-changing world. Each of the department’s degree programs combines a performance-oriented, nationally accredited education with real-world experience, graduating young adults who possess not only exceptional skill and knowledge, but also the experience required to have a crucial impact within their communities.

A part of the Division of Fine Arts at Gordon College and one of only 19 schools in New England fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of Music offers undergraduate degrees (B.M., B.A.) in which students may specialize in performance, music education or liberal arts. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, music education graduates are eligible for licensure in 48 states through the NASDTEC Interstate Contract. An innovative summers-only Master of Music Education degree combines intense research and classroom study with concrete improvement in teaching ability and technique. Over 120 students in these programs benefit from the expertise of 35 full-time and part-time faculty and instructors, many of whom are recognized leaders in their fields.

Numerous community music initiatives in the summer season and throughout the academic year bring the joy of music to the local community. The Gordon Symphonic Band and other College performing ensembles incorporate community members in a truly intergenerational approach to music-making. There are also varied programs at Gordon which instill a love of music in local children, whether it’s singing in the Children’s Choir, spending time on campus during popular music camps, making music with a parent in an early childhood music class, or learning how to play an instrument for the first time in private lessons.
