Greetings from Nashville
In nearly 25 years of working with Christian colleges and universities, we have graduated over 1,400 students who are impacting culture for the Kingdom in every imaginable scenario.
CMC Nashville offers students from partner institutions a one-semester, immersive off-campus study experience in the heart of the music industry — a cost-effective way to broaden your curriculum with specialized coursework and professional training that may not be available on your home campus.
Schools wishing to add a semester at CMC Nashville can sign an affiliation agreement. Questions about a partnership can go to Jenny Leininger, Director of Operations.
CMC is accredited through Greenville University by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and state certified by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC).

“At the CMC, the Christian faith isn't an "add on," a box to be checked, or even something to be integrated. Rather, the music and instruction grows out of a rich understanding of our risen Christ holding all things together and relentlessly redeeming all things to himself.”
Matthew Kickasola
Associate Professor of Humanities and Music, Geneva College
“It's clear that the CMC's experiential methodology is pedagogically sound and of a very high calibre.”
