Intro

Where will this degree take me

When you graduate with a Blugold degree in music and theatre arts, our advice to you would be to have your bags packed — there's a good chance you'll be headed off to your dream job or graduate studies program soon. If music education is the path for you, almost 100 percent of our grads are placed immediately. If you want to stick around the Chippewa Valley (because it's the best place in the world, of course) you're in luck since the area currently finds Blugolds teaching in every public school district. Theatre alumni are gracing local and national stages, as well as our televisions.
