Northwestern University Bienen School of Music - Office of Student Affairs

The Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music has always looked ahead toward the future of music. Today young musicians face an interconnected market where success requires not only exceptional musical skills but also new ways of distributing art and sharing creativity worldwide. For decade the Bienen School has offered dual-degree programs for undergraduates whose intellectual curiosity in diverse areas – from science and technology to marketing and cultural studies – matches their passion for music. In addition, our graduate programs specialize in training highly skilled performers and scholars to broaden their entrepreneurial mindset and challenge new audiences. The school offers 15 majors in five degree programs, including self-designed degrees, with many need-based and merit-based financial aid.
