The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music is the performing arts college of the University of Cincinnati. Located in the university's main campus in Cincinnati, Ohio, the college is commonly referred to as simply CCM.
Its origins come from two sources: the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, formed in 1867 as part of a girls' finishing school, and the College of Music of Cincinnati, which opened in 1878. After years of competition, the two schools merged in August 1955 to form the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and were later incorporated into the University of Cincinnati on August 1, 1962. The college is still sometimes mistakenly referred to as the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
Today, CCM has an enrollment of about 1500, with a relatively even amount of undergraduate and graduate students, and it is the largest single source of performing arts presentations in the entire state of Ohio. US News and World Report has ranked CCM sixth nationally among colleges for pursuing a graduate music degree. Its voice program was ranked third, and its conducting program was ranked fifth. Its music composition, orchestra, drama, and musical theater programs were also highlighted. Its Dramatic Performance program is among the top conservatory programs in the United States for students pursuing a B.F.A. in acting.
Though most performances are free to all University of Cincinnati students, CCM does not offer a music minor, and most classes are restricted to students of the college with the exception of a few music history and music appreciation classes.
