Additional info

The Furman University Department of Music is recognized as one of the highest-rated and most comprehensive among national liberal arts colleges. We attract ambitious musicians from across the globe — those who wish to major in music as well as those who wish to major in another discipline but continue their music. A large percentage of our student body participates in music. Unique for a school of 2600 undergraduates, we seat a full all-undergrad symphony orchestra, chamber strings, a jazz ensemble and multiple jazz combos, three choirs, a symphonic concert band, a marching band, a paid pep band, fully staged lyric theatre with pit orchestra, multiple pipe organs, and we are progressing toward being an All-Steinway piano school.
