With two nationally-recognized performance halls, one of the largest music research libraries in the Southeast, and an electronic music lab, the Petrie School facilities rank among the finest in the country. Performing experiences abound through masterclasses with guest artists, solo recitals, the Converse Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Opera Theatre, Spartanburg Festival Chorus, and numerous chamber ensembles.
Financial aid for graduate students is available in the form of graduate assistantships. These awards are based on the qualifications of the applicant, the needs of the School, and the availability of funds. The Petrie School makes every effort to assign responsibilities which will enhance the credentials of the graduate student.
