The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University is a conservatory in the Mount Vernon area of Baltimore City. It was founded in 1857 by philanthropist George Peabody, and was the first academy of music to be established in the United States. Under the direction of well-known musicians, composers, conductors, and Peabody alumni, the Institute grew from a local academy to an internationally renowned cultural center throughout the late 19th and the 20th centuries.Since 1977, the Institute has operated as a division of The Johns Hopkins University, which U.S. News & World Report cites as one of America’s top ten universities. Because of this affiliation, Peabody students are exposed to a liberal arts curriculum that is more expansive than those of other leading conservatories; likewise, Hopkins students have access to a world-class musical education and experience that they could not access at another university of such stature.
Peabody is one of 156 schools in the US that offer a Doctorate of Musical Arts Degree.
