Our musicology doctorate program emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to research and education - music is not studied in isolation, but as part of a historical and cultural fabric of society. Students frequently take courses outside the Music Department and can pursue research in other disciplines related to their interests. Qualified students can also take courses in composition and do independent studies in performance practice and interpretations with members of the performance faculty. We admit students to the Ph.D. program with a full five-year fellowship, and you may earn a Master of Arts en-route to the Ph.D. A terminal master's degree will be awarded if a student does not demonstrate the ability to do substantial and original work in musicology. Students are notified that they may continue on towards their doctorate after the qualifying examination. Highlights Extensive interaction with members of the faculty for individualized instruction Favorable student-to-faculty ratio Flexible curriculum tailored to your interests Wide choice of courses in music history, ethnomusicology, composition, theory, analysis, and performance practice (including projects with performing artists on the departmental faculty), as well as courses in other disciplines.
