The professional staff is comprised of one Administrative Assistant, one Program Specialist, and one Audio/Lab Manager who oversees technical production. Responsibilities: budget management; personnel, tenure & promotion, faculty development, student success, marketing and public relations, accreditation, assessment; oversight of the TU Marching Band. The full-time faculty salary line is $2.8 million, but these lines are held by the Provost. The Department’s operating budget is $235,000. The adjunct faculty budget is $255,000 per semester.

The division offered the bachelor’s and master’s in all three disciplines; with the doctorate offered in musicology and music theory. The division served undergraduate music majors and musicology and music theory graduate students primarily; service courses were designed to appeal to the non-music major. Salary lines were held by the Provost. The division’s allocation for maintenance and operations varied, from a low of $13K one year to a high of $22K in another.
