The Bob Cole Conservatory of Music has just been designated at CSULB. This is a top notch school for music education, and it is one of the least expensive programs in the nation, while also being one of the best. It is a public university, so the fees are significantly less for residents of the state of California than for those from out of the state.
Auditions are required for admittance to the Conservatory, while students must also gain admission to the university, so the application process is two-fold. More information is available at
