Now, the school is listed among the nation’s top programs for creative students in the new book “Creative Colleges: A Guide for Student Actors, Artists, Dancers, Musicians and Writers” by Elaina Loveland.
“UH’s music program is well regarded for its impressive faculty, expansive curriculum and performing opportunities,” Loveland said. “Its many positive characteristics make it a school for aspiring musicians to consider.”
Published by SuperCollege, “Creative Colleges” spotlights 200 higher education schools and programs focused on art, drama, dance, music and creative writing. Universities featured in the book were selected based on curricular breadth of degree programs, scholarship availability, cost, number of performance opportunities, quality of faculty and alumni accomplishments.
“It is wonderful and very appropriate for the school to be listed in this publication,” said David Ashley White, director of MSM. “Of course, credit must go to our talented students, faculty and staff who have worked hard over the years to establish our reputation.”
Loveland is the former editor of the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s Journal of College Admission. She also is the author of “Creative Careers: Paths for Aspiring Actors, Artists, Dancers, Musicians and Writers.”
