Hampshire College's Music Program encourages students to engage in an interdisciplinary process to understand music as a creative expression and its role in culture. Students can take courses in ethnomusicology, popular music, music theory and composition, music journalism, and various area studies courses. Many music courses address the themes of Hampshire’s four Learning Collaboratives (LCs): Media and Technology, Environments and Change, In/Justice, and Time and Narrative.
Through the Five College consortium, students can study Western historical musicology, music technology, and a wide range of theory and performance courses. Students with a particular interest in ethnomusicology — the study of music from a multi-disciplinary perspective — are encouraged to pursue the Five College Certificate in Ethnomusicology
