The Mount Vernon Nazarene University Music Department is pleased to announce that all programs and degrees within the department have been re-accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). Having received initial accreditation in 2009, the MVNU music program moves from associate member status to full member status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This re-accreditation was given after a thorough self-evaluation of each program within the Music Department followed by a comprehensive on-site review. The review team compiled a report, which was reviewed by the NASM commission, the decision-making body for accreditation. The MVNU Music Department was then given the opportunity to offer responses to the commission. The re-accreditation process was completed over a period of two and a half years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is great news for our music programs at MVNU,\u201d said department chair Dr. John Packard. \u201cWe knew we were providing outstanding music education to our students, but it\u2019s a pleasure \u2014 and useful \u2014 to be affirmed by an external agency like NASM.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1924, NASM is an organization of schools, conservatories, colleges, and universities with approximately 643 accredited institutional members. It establishes national standards for undergraduate and graduate degrees and other credentials for music and music-related disciplines. It also provides assistance to institutions and individuals engaged in artistic, scholarly, educational, and other music-related endeavors (https:\/\/nasm.arts-accredit.org). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Music Department thanks all who support and encourage MVNU students who pursue study within the musical arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
