The Master of Arts in Music program caters to students aiming for doctoral studies in music or performers with academic aspirations in teaching composition, theory, or musicology. This versatile degree suits those preparing to instruct music composition, history, or theory as a secondary focus at higher education institutions. While it complements specialized M.M. degrees in Composition, Music History, or Theory—which target single disciplines for PhD preparation—the MA offers broader musical exploration and practical problem-solving skills. Students collaborate with peers across Boyer College of Music and Dance graduate programs, fostering interdisciplinary learning and idea exchange.
