Music

Drury’s music department is an integral part of the university’s liberal arts tradition. More than 400 Drury students take music classes, perform in music ensembles or take individual music lessons every year. Graduates have a 93% placement rate immediately upon graduation – either in a job that requires a bachelor’s degree or being accepted into graduate school.
