Cedarville University is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
For the Cedarville University Department of Music and Worship in the School of Arts and Humanities, Bach’s famous phrase “Soli Deo Gloria” (for the glory of God alone) is more than a slogan — it is the mission that drives all we do. We truly believe that our music and worship degree programs honor the Master Creator through our shared creativity.

Cedarville's music and worship programs build a strong artistic, intellectual, and practical foundation for professional careers and graduate studies.
