The Music Theory program at UMass Amherst offers specialized training for MM and BA candidates while providing core instruction for all music majors.
The BA in Music Theory equips students for advanced theoretical studies at the graduate level. More flexible than the BM degree, this program allows for a broader liberal arts focus and makes it easier to combine with another academic discipline.
For undergraduates desiring deeper engagement with composition and theory, the Bachelor of Music in Composition offers rigorous coursework in orchestration, counterpoint, and practical composition techniques.
