Our mission is to train students to be capable and effective music educators and to prepare our graduates for the workplace or for graduate study in music. All of our full-time music faculty members hold the terminal degree in their field. In addition, we have superb music facilities and two degree tracks in music that students may pursue.

A second part of our mission is to support the overall mission of USAO by providing coursework and ensemble participation opportunities, thereby enhancing the liberal arts curriculum and encouraging engagement in the arts for the general student population. The USAO Music Department and other arts departments serve as the Arts hub for the Grady County area, enriching the lives of local citizens through concerts, art shows and theater productions.

We encourage you to browse our degree options and our facilities and get to know our faculty. Feel free to contact Dr. Stephen Weber for more information about the music program at USAO (405-574-1295) or facwebers@usao.edu.
