Metropolitan State University of Denver has introduced Colorado’s first degree in Mariachi Performance and Culture. The programme combines musical training with cultural and business studies, offering students a comprehensive education in mariachi. Originating as a student club, the course has developed into a pioneering academic programme. MSU Denver aims to become a national leader in mariachi education, attracting students across the US and preserving the cultural heritage of this traditional Mexican music form.
