<p>Capital University in Ohio, definitely got a killer program there. the conservatory is very nice</p>
<p>Portland State University as well as University of Oregon both have good jazz programs. </p>
<p>A little more known is the Conservatory at Cincinnati University…CCM, very nice. </p>
<p>Surprisingly I was impressed with Ohio State University’s program, even though its such an enormous school only like 400 kids are in the conservatory/music school and it has some really interesting programs and great faculty especially with jazz</p>
