The UT School of Music has been a department within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. It offers degrees in music education, performance, sacred music, studio music and jazz, and theory and composition, as well as master's degrees in all of those areas, in addition to conducting and musicology. The School of Music has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the accrediting agency for music departments in higher education.
