Welcome to the Music Department at UTPA

The Music Department consists of over 200 music majors focused in the areas of applied music and music education. The recently established-graduate program offers degrees in performance, pedagogy or ethnomusicology.

I am pleased to announce the approval for the new Fine Arts Center that is scheduled to break ground in the summer of 2009.
