Partner Campuses
EXPAND YOUR OFFERINGS. BECOME A CMC NASHVILLE PARTNER CAMPUS.
Greetings from Nashville
In our nearly 25 years of working with Christian colleges and universities, we have graduated over 1400 students who are impacting culture for the Kingdom in every imaginable scenario.
The Contemporary Music Center (CMC) Nashville program offers students from partner institutions a one-semester, immersive off-campus study experience in the heart of the music industry. This program is designed to expand the curricular offerings of sending institutions by providing a unique opportunity for students to live, study, and create in Nashville, one of the most influential cultural and artistic hubs in the United States..
This off-campus study option provides sending institutions with a cost-effective way to broaden their curriculum, offering specialized coursework and professional training that may not be available on their home campuses.
Schools wishing to add a semester at CMC Nashville as an option for their students, can sign an affiliation agreement. Any questions about a future partnership can be directed to Jenny Leininger, CMC’s Director of Operations.
The CMC is accredited through Greenville University by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and state certified by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC).

PARTNER CAMPUS COURSE EQUIVALENCY GUIDE
Some institutions have purposefully built CMC into their undergraduate degree program while others have created a CMC MINOR giving them the added benefit of being able to expand course offerings without added cost and making student advisement and credit transfers much easier.
Moreover, providing a pathway to CMC has given that institution an additional enrollment marketing tool and increased their department enrollment.

“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 FACULTY member
THE BENEFITS OF A CMC MINOR
“It's clear that the CMC's experiential methodology is pedagogically sound and of a very high calibre.”
Dr. Matt A Roberson, Associate Professor in the Department of Music

“Visiting in person was illuminating in that I not only got to understand the heart of the teaching ethos at the CMC, but to see the students at work in the “classroom”. The in-person visit gave me the confidence to recommend my students to the program with the assurance that they are in good hands.”
Aaron Barnhart, Associate Professor of Worship Arts and Music Industry
