Scripps offers an environment stressing personal attention while providing a rigorous and multi-faceted education.

Our music graduates have pursued careers as conductors, composers, performers, and educators. Music majors can also pursue other exciting and enriching opportunities in church music, journalism, music criticism, music therapy, publishing, electronic music, radio/television/film, and the music industry. Training in music scholarship and performance also prepares students well for careers as diverse as business, medicine, law, and the engineering world.
