As one of the most comprehensive music units in American
higher education, and as a free-standing school within a major
research university, the Frost School of Music perpetuates a
historic commitment to the values inherent in the juxtaposition
of professional and general studies in undergraduate curricula.
The comprehensiveness of the School’s undergraduate and
graduate programs manifests a philosophy that places importance
upon establishing and maintaining connections between
its instructional and associated activities and the broad spectrum
of music and music-related fields for which it seeks to
prepare its students.
In broadest terms, the four-fold mission of the Frost School of Music is:
|
| |
|
|
To provide a high quality of music
education and training for its undergraduate and graduate majors;
|
|
|
|
|
To foster advancements in music performance,
creativity, research, scholarship, and teaching among its faculty; |
|
|
|
|
To serve the general student population
of the University; |
|
|
|
|
To act as an educational and cultural
resource for the University, South Florida, and national and
international constituencies. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
Implicit in the mission of the Frost School of Music are specific goals relevant to music majors, other University students, music faculty, and broader external constituencies. The four primary goals are:
|
To provide music majors
with a high quality
pre-professional education, |
| |
|
|
To provide opportunities for other
University students to increase their musical skills, understanding,
and appreciation, |
| |
|
|
To provide the music faculty with opportunities
for creative activity and scholarly inquiry, and |
| |
|
|
To serve as an educational and cultural resource
for the University, South Florida, and global communities. |
