On campus
How results are ordered: alphabetically by institution, or by most recently checked when you choose that sort. There is no price ranking, because tuition in different currencies, fee categories and bases (per year, per credit, whole program) is not comparable. A program appears under a subject only through a verified link (dedicated degree, major, concentration or documented pathway). A value we could not verify is shown as “not published”, never as “no”. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change verification or order. Online programs are not counted as physically located in a state or city, and an institution’s location does not tell you whether it enrols students from your country.
Music education in California: what the researched records show
Our researched records for California cover 51 institutions (Academy of Art University, Azusa Pacific University, Biola University, California Baptist University and 47 more) with 297 music programs taught at a campus here. Fully online programs are not counted as local.
By level: 26 certificates, 8 diplomas, 149 bachelor’s programs, 83 master’s programs and 31 doctoral programs. Awards are shown exactly as the institutions title them; a certificate or diploma is never presented as a degree.
Subjects with a verified link to a program here: Audio Engineering and Recording, Collaborative Piano and Accompaniment, Composition, Conducting, Early Music and Historical Performance, Electronic Music, Ethnomusicology, Film, Television and Game Scoring and 14 more.
Instruments with a verified degree or principal-study pathway here: Bassoon, Cello, Clarinet, Classical Guitar, Contemporary Voice, Double Bass, Drum Set, Euphonium, Flute, French Horn and 12 more.
None of the programs here yet carries a program-level accreditation record in our data. That reflects what we have verified so far, not a judgement about the programs.
Admissions: of the programs listed, 84 require an audition.
76 programs publish tuition, each shown in its own currency, fee category and basis (per year, per credit or whole program), which is why tuition is never ranked across programs. 6 programs list funding.
