The Music Programs at Evangel University
To better prepare our students for a variety of music careers, Evangel offers several degree programs in music. Each program has been carefully designed to ensure that our music students build strong musical skills, gain professional training for specific music fields, and experience a wide range of musical activities. Internships are made possible by our close proximity to Branson, the Assemblies of God World Headquarters, and many fine public school systems. Our faculty advisors can help you decide which of our degree programs will best help you as you pursue your calling.
