BREAKTHROUGHS ARE WHAT WE DOInnovation is in our DNA. It’s why we were the first U.S. college to teach jazz and the first to offer majors in songwriting, music synthesis, and film scoring. It’s why we teach electronic digital instruments and virtual reality. We’re always striving to push music education further, make it better, and drive it in new directions. Since 1945, we have remained committed to not only reflecting the music of today, but shaping the music of tomorrow.
Similarly, we help shape the future for our students. We nurture their creativity, connect them with other musicians, and equip them with the latest knowledge so they can pursue the most promising careers. We help them find advantageous internships and professional opportunities. Even after graduation, Berklee continues to serve as a resource and the hub of a vast network of alumni who can help one another.

THERE’S ONLY ONE BERKLEEBerklee will meet you where you are, offering a host of ways for you to pursue your artistry: Berklee College of Music’s campuses in Boston and Valencia, Spain, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and Berklee Online. No matter where you choose to begin, you’ll find there’s no place quite like it.
We believe in the value of contemporary music. We recognize that music reflects the times we livein. It is the soundtrack of the human experience,and it demands our attention. So we focus on today’s music in all its forms—from music therapy to video game sound design. Wherever music goes, Berklee is there.
We believe in the power of diversity. Different ideas, opinions, backgrounds, cultures, histories—these all lead to greater inspiration and innovation, a richer educational experience, and the best results, both for our students’ music and their careers. This is why Berklee has students and alumni from more than 100 countries.
We believe that connections are crucial. This includes connections among traditions, instru- ments, and art forms; institutions and artists; and alumni, faculty, and students. We foster such interactions and continuously nurture a dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative global arts community.
We believe in our ability to make a difference. Not only in music education, but in music itself—and in the careers and lives of musicians like you.

And in a city with 8,000 alumni, it serves as a dynamic laboratory to help realize creative and career potential.

JUMP IN, CONNECT, AND CREATEOur community is filled with talented musicians from many different countries, traditions, and influences. And they all share a drive to break out of their comfort zones and collaborate with you.
It’s no wonder that we have so many ensembles. From Afro-pop to hip-hop to bebop, from Balkan choir to Indian music, you’ll find more than 350 to choose from. The only constant here is perpetual motion: an unceasing drive to engage yourself, experiment, and explore.
berklee.edu/connections
MAKE MORE THAN MUSICAt Berklee College of Music, you’ll find countless ways to engage the community. Maybe you’d like to work at the BIRN (Berklee Internet Radio Network) or Heavy Rotation Records; maybe you’d like to write for FUSION magazine or the Music Business Journal. Consider joining some of the 80 or so clubs on campus—some are music focused, others aren’t. Whether you want to connect with students from your home country or take part in your hobbies (anime, rock climbing, Ultimate frisbee, etc.) with like-minded students, it’s all possible here.
