Nationally ranked and internationally renowned, CCM is a preeminent institution for the performing and media arts. Declared “one of this country's leading conservatories” by the New York Times, CCM provides life-changing experiences within a highly creative and multidisciplinary artistic environment.

CCM’s educational roots date back to 1867, and a solid, visionary instruction has been at its core since that time. The synergy created by housing CCM within a comprehensive public university gives the college its unique character and defines its objective: to educate and inspire the whole artist and scholar for positions on the world's stage.

CCM’s faculty and staff and its state-of-the-art facilities make possible the professional training and exceptional education on which CCM believes the future of the arts relies. The school's roster of eminent faculty regularly receives distinguished honors for creative and scholarly work, and its alumni have achieved notable success in the performing and media arts.

The University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music is a state-of-the-art facility housing abundant resources. Designed to provide the highest quality of education and experience for our students, CCM has also hosted international events including the 2010 International Viola Congress and exchange events with conservatories and universities internationally.

CCM’s world-class facilities provide a highly creative and multidisciplinary artistic environment. The school's campus, which is commonly referred to as the CCM Village, is equipped with state-of-the-art classroom, studio and performance facilities.

The CCM Village is primarily housed in four buildings:
