Overview
Values
The Indiana University Jacobs School of Music is committed to excellence and the highest levels of artistic and academic expression. One of the most comprehensive and acclaimed institutions for the study of music, the Jacobs School of Music has educated and shaped the careers of countless performers, scholars, and music educators who are leaders around the globe. Our students come from all 50 states and more than 50 countries, and they benefit from the intensity and focus of a world-class conservatory combined with the broad academic offerings of a major university.
We believe we are made stronger by a culturally diverse faculty and student body. As we move forward, we strengthen our commitment to providing equal opportunity for all persons. We will continually strive to welcome, support, and learn from faculty and students who reflect the gender, racial, and ethnic diversity of our nation.
Together, we at the Jacobs School of Music will work to uphold our goal of inclusiveness. As such we will:
- foster a community and academic environment in which musicians, scholars, teachers, staff, and administrators of all races, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and religions have support to thrive personally, creatively, and intellectually;
- embrace opportunities to cultivate diversity within individual departments, and, in turn, increase discourse about inclusiveness within all fields of music study; and
- ensure that the top musicians, scholars, and teachers whom we identify and attract represent the diverse world from which we draw our talent.
