The Master of Arts in Musicology is for students who are working toward entrance to a PhD program, performing students with academic interests, and students preparing for positions in the music industry. To enter, students normally possess an undergraduate degree in music or its equivalent.

Dedicated to interdisciplinary, disciplinary, historical, translational, analytical, and cross-cultural thinking, the faculty in the Department consists of a cohort of six musicologists and four ethnomusicologists, and houses research centers in Early Music and Beethoven studies. We are a vibrant, active, diverse, supportive, and inclusive Department, dedicated to a shared purpose and a field without walls between scholarship and performance.
