14) What do music graduates from St. Mary's College of Maryland do with their degrees? The B.A in music offers a large range of possibilities for careers. St. Mary's College of Maryland’s strong General Education program prepares you for a wide variety of fields beyond music. In particular, our double majors have had success in non-music graduate programs (Medical School, Biology research, and others). But most of our students go on either in music or in a music-related field. A favorite has been Arts Administration, and some of our graduates hold administrative positions the Washington Performing Arts Society, the Baltimore Symphony, Levine School of Music, and the Portland (Maine) Symphony. Students serious about pursuing performing careers have also had success, and recent graduates have gone on to receive Masters degrees from Manhattan School of Music, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, DePaul University, University of Miami, and The Royal Conservatory of Music and Dance in Scotland. Many graduates are working as performers. Some are employed in the best of the US military service ensembles. The most consistently popular avenue for employment among our graduates, though, has been in education. Our graduates work throughout Maryland’s public and private schools, some in arts-oriented “magnet” schools. In fact, every graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland who sought music teaching certification has been offered a teaching position in the state, and some are teaching out of the state.
