BornMan, You have done a lot of good research (and glad to see you posted in the music forum)! I am an MSU grad (back in the stone age) and have fond memories of my experience there; its music program is increasingly well regarded. You are correct, DePaul is private, but it is not small at all. (My D will be visiting in the fall to explore their violin performance department). I don’t know about its vocal program or whether it’s a happening enough location, but I’ve also heard good things about Grand Valley State.

Keep in ming that “rankings” don’t work exactly the same way for music as for academics, it’s kind of apples to oranges. The most important thing is to find a solid and accredited program that meets YOUR criteria, has the teacher(s) you want and can help get you to your next goal.
