A degree in music can be attained through several institutions: * Colleges and universities usually carry the highest level of accreditation. * Community colleges are usually less expensive than universities and are good options for individuals who want to attend school part-time. * Many church-related colleges offer music degrees. * Independent music schools are also an option. Independent music schools may be operated by individuals with specific backgrounds in music, or they may be focused on a certain type of music. * For-profit institutions also offer programs for students seeking a music degree.
