The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music is the music school of the University of California, Los Angeles. It is the first, and only, school of music within the University of California system.
Established in 2007 within the UCLA School of Arts and Architecture and the UCLA Division of Humanities, the UC Board of Regents formally voted in January 2016 to establish the school. It is supported in part by a $30 million endowment from the Herb Alpert Foundation. Originally composed of the academic departments of ethnomusicology, musicology, and music, the school now supports interdisciplinary programs in global jazz studies and music industry.
Michael Beckerman was appointed the third dean of The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music in 2025.
