Music

Is Music Your Life?

It has been part of Seton Hill’s since we awarded our first two degrees — both Bachelors of Music — in 1919. Our new Performing Arts Center affirms that dedication as it provides a thoroughly modern showcase for the talents of our students, and the expertise of our faculty. At Seton Hill, you’ll benefit from a long tradition of excellence in the study of music combined with the best of modern facilities, in a course of study that unites study and performance of music with the breadth and depth of a liberal arts education. Seton Hill is a fully accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music and we believe in educating students in a challenging yet supportive environment. Here, you will find your voice.
