Princeton provides an exceptionally flexible curriculum that encourages students to explore their unique compositional passions. Central to the program is each student's original creative work, developed through ongoing guidance from composition faculty members. While enrollment remains intimate (typically three to five students admitted annually), the variety of their experiences and artistic focuses proves extraordinary. The vibrant exchange between composers with distinctly different styles forms a fundamental aspect of the program. Consequently, students must reside in Princeton for their initial two years of study.
