After graduation our alumni enter a wide variety of careers.

Some of our alumni combine their music activities with work in fields such as non-profit management and community-building. Some professions, like medicine and law, don鈥檛 require a particular undergraduate major, so some of our students earn a music major just to pursue their love of music.
A double major is common at Wittenberg. Recently, students have combined a music major with a major in English, business, psychology, communication, and biology, as well as other disciplines.
