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 Tennessee: what the researched records show

Our researched records for Tennessee cover 31 institutions (Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Bethel University, Bryan College and 27 more) with 161 music programs taught at a campus here. Fully online programs are not counted as local.

By level: 7 certificates, 1 diploma, 119 bachelor’s programs, 29 master’s programs and 5 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, Ethnomusicology, General Music Studies, Jazz Studies, Music Business and Industry and 11 more.

Instruments with a verified degree or principal-study pathway here: Classical Voice, Contemporary Voice, Drum Set, Percussion, Piano, Saxophone, Trombone and Trumpet.

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, 12 require an audition.

13 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. 5 programs list funding.
