Berklee College of Music and Our International Commitment

One of the compelling aspects of Berklee is its commitment to internationalization. Whether it be in our student body, our faculty and staff, our curriculum or the incredibly diverse city of Boston, Berklee is a fantastic place to discover the world. I saw this article the other day about some of the work that we're doing in Ireland and thought I would share, as just an example of one of the things we are doing.

As I write this, we have a team of staff and faculty conducting auditions and interviews in Russia and as always, we're planning ahead for the upcoming year of events around the world.

Here's a few key links that might be helpful for you if you're interested in "things International" at Berklee:
