INDIVIDUAL TRAINING In the classroom, one-on-one training gives you the technical and artistic skills you need, all supported by a core of liberal arts coursework to expand your mind and creativity.
SUPPORT & INSPIRATION Coker students don’t settle. Expect to be inspired by a community of artists—both classmates and professors—who will challenge your ideas and push you to create and achieve on a higher level.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE From performance opportunities your freshman year to a defining capstone experience or exhibit as a senior, you will actively apply your new skills from day one. Off-campus experiences (like conferences, internships, tours, and study abroad) take your education even further.
FAC I L I T I E S

also need dedication, inspiration, and training (to name a few). Coker’s
programs in performing and visual arts are designed to help you put all
these pieces together to create the career you want.

ALL-STEINWAY INITIATIVE
In 2012, Coker began an All-Steinway Initiative, a commitment to use Steinway-designed instruments in classrooms, practice studios, and in performance spaces campus-wide. Less than one percent of colleges and universities worldwide are designated as All-Steinway Institutions, and Coker is one of only three colleges in South Carolina with the distinction.
Challenge and develop your creative
and intellectual potential through personalized
coursework and one-on-one training. Outside
of the classroom, you’l l benefit from immediate
opportunities for solo performances, theatrical roles,
internships, regional and national ensemble tours,
study away and more.
“As a music major at Coker, I’ve formed relationships, developed skills and gained experiences that will last forever. I recommend our program to anyone who is looking for a passionate, artistic environment.”
