About this course

What will I learn?

Earning your MA in Musicology gives you the opportunity to investigate musics role and meaning in various social and historical contexts through text-based analysis informed by cultural studies.The small size of our program guarantees a great deal of specialized attention and the possibility of tailoring courses of study to suit your interests.The MA is a thesis-based program in which you take two required seminar courses and choose three other seminars before embarking on a thesis prospectus and then thesis research. Though the program is designed so that it can be completed in 12 months students generally complete it over two academic years.
