| Re: University Music Department Accreditation question...
Good question, and it is one that has been pondered by many a small music department (including my own). It is possible for a department to exist if unaccredited, and I've known faculty in quite a few departments that chose to remain unaccredited - usually for a wide variety of reasons. I think the lack of accreditation probably wouldn't have much direct affect on students, but I would imagine that it would difficult to attract (and keep) top quality faculty.
Just my 2 cents... |
