MUGN 100: CIM Connect

CIM Connect is a 15-week, one-credit first-year experience course at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) modeled on Case Western Reserve University’s successful Explore Program. The course meets for one hour weekly with additional experiential activities outside class time. It is built around three pillars – Academic Fields and Programs, University Resources, and Student Activities & Cultural Institutions – to introduce new conservatory students to the breadth of opportunities and support available. By blending in-class seminars, hands-on activities, and field trips, CIM Connect aims to ease students’ transition into college and enrich their conservatory education beyond the practice room.
