Department of Music

Within the context of the mission of Southern Wesleyan University, the mission of the Department of Music is to provide a quality music curriculum within a Christian environment. To accomplish this mission, each program within the department will: (1) integrate various aspects of the Christian faith into each course, attempting to instill within the student an awareness of the practical outworking of Biblical principles; (2) equip the student with competency necessary to excel in a variety of musical settings.

God is seeking musicians who are dedicated to serving Him in churches, schools, and communities. The effective Christian musician seeks to reach out to others and engage the prevailing culture, wherever God leads them. We prepare our students to meet that challenge through excellent teaching and personal example.

Student Productions is proud to produce annual musicals and stage shows for a variety of audiences in the upstate of South Carolina.
