College Division
Each year the college division enrolls approximately 220 students, ages 18 through 29, who have completed a year as a full-time college student. The term "college division" is something of a misnomer, as many students in the program have graduated or are enrolled for graduate study.
Four programs of study are available:
Except for the Opera program, students receive weekly private lessons from Brevard's artist faculty, and they may participate in studio or master classes. (Opera students receive private coachings in lieu of lessons.) Virtually all instrumentalists play chamber music with formal coaching. Students may perform solo and chamber music in Brevard's weekly student recitals.
There are formal, required classes for students in Piano, Composition, and Opera, and sectional rehearsals for students in Orchestral Studies.
Campus life policies for college students are liberal, analogous to those found on many college campuses.
