Salary: Per credit hours
Department Summary: Drake University's Department of Music (School of Fine Arts) is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Drake University seeks to recruit and support a broadly diverse community of faculty and staff.
Drake offers the best of both worlds: a department that is large enough to support a vast range of musical activities, but small enough that students receive highly personal attention. We pride ourselves on providing big-school opportunities in a small-school environment, and our graduates are well-trained and well-rounded musicians who are highly competitive in a wide range of vocational fields.
