The Department of Music encourages participation in music programs by all students of the University, regardless of their major.

The George Washington University is a fully-accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
The University's central location in downtown Washington, D.C., a 10-minute walk from The White House and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, provides yet another avenue of opportunity for students to take advantage of the city's rich cultural life.
