<p>Another vote for St. Olaf in Northfield, Minnesota and Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. These are two of the best choir programs in the country. Both have great academics with St. Olaf having more prestige in the rankings; but Luther is a hidden gem with very happy students.</p>
<p><–Current Luther music student. Okay, shameless plug: if you want choral music and liberal arts together, you aren’t going to do better than Luther, St. Olaf, or Concordia in Moorhead, MN.

<p>St. Olaf routinely does better in the US News rankings because it buys into the system a little more than Luther, but really, the two schools are equals.
I am absolutely loving my Luther education. Everything about it. I have zero complaints.</p>
