A Great Environment

composing musicWSU composers work with an outstanding faculty. Graduates have gone on to complete doctorates at prestigious institutions, such as John’s Hopkins University and the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. They have won national and international prizes, are published, and their works have been competitively selected for performance at numerous national composer conferences throughout the United States.
