In this study center program, students study music in Vienna, a city that bridges a myriad of cultures and is home to many of history's greatest composers, from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to Brahms, Mahler, and Schoenberg. Students also have the opportunity to study German through language courses available at all levels. The IES Abroad Music program offers students private music lessons, practice rooms, instrument storage, local instrument rental, and a Music Performance Workshop.  Students choose between apartments, residence halls, and living in local residences while in Vienna.  

PLEASE NOTE: Blair students interested in applying for this program must meet with Dean Brian Utley in Blair. There is a form in your VU study abroad application that he will need to sign prior to the VU application deadline.
