The Institute of Music grants Bachelor of Arts as well as Bachelor of Musical Arts degrees. The latter allows students to add an emphasis on the music business. Effective 2024, School of Music was renamed the "Institute of Music" under the newly launched "Creative School".<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Harper |first=Madeline |date=May 1, 2022 |title=School of Music name change frustrates some students |url=https://thedepauw.com/school-of-music-name-change-frustrates-some-students/ |access-date=March 25, 2024 |website=The DePauw |language=en-US}}</ref> The name change does not impact accreditation.<ref name=":1" />
