The college's 3,900 students and 480 faculty members function in an environment designed to provide the most complete learning experience possible, including all of the opportunities and challenges presented by a career in the contemporary music industry. Among these challenges is the need to develop an appreciation and understanding of the value of musical service to our community and culture. In recognition of this, the President's Office of Education Outreach was established in 1990 to buttress the community service aspect of the college's mission and provide meaningful programs for student participation. Among these programs are the Berklee City Music Program, the Public Service Through Music Club, and the Urban Outreach Performance Program.
