As a singer, Ann Schoenecker has applied her supple soprano voice to everything from opera to oratorio to musical theatre throughout the United States and Europe. Before coming to Viterbo, where she chairs the music department, Schoenecker taught at the Performing Arts Studios in Vienna, Austria, Luther College, the University of Minnesota, the University of Missouri.

Logan Bjerkos, a senior social work major at Viterbo University, admits she was worried about the cost of attending college when she was considering where to study.

“I was terrified going into college, thinking about how I was going to afford this,” she said. “But Viterbo worked really well with all of the financial aid, the grants and scholarships.”

“Everyone here has big dreams,” says Alexandra Burch, a vocal performance and music education double major at Viterbo University. 

On a typical day in her life as a Viterbo University business student, you might find Taylor Wiedemann meeting corporate customers as part of her internship at Trane, or back on campus working on a market research project for an innovative local start-up.
