DID YOU KNOW?

Each year, Carson-Newman hosts the Tarr Full-Tuition Scholarship Competition, open to any current senior or recent high school graduate who has not yet attended college and who has been accepted for admission to Carson-Newman. In addition to the full-tuition scholarship, other music scholarships are awarded as well. The competition will also serve as your department audition, which is a requirement for admission to the program.

This musically intensive degree often leads to graduate school or complements a second interest for career opportunities. Here are just a few of the places where C-N music graduates have found their passions:
• Arts administration
