The Jazz Studies program at UNT stands among the country's most prestigious and pioneered its specialized degree path. The Doctor of Musical Arts program provides concentrations in performance (encompassing conducting and jazz studies) with complementary studies in areas like collaborative piano, composition, conducting, contemporary music, early music, jazz studies, music education, music and medicine, musicology, music theory, opera, performance, sacred music, or vocal pedagogy. This rigorous program demands at least three years of study, totaling 84 credit hours beyond undergraduate coursework. Following the initial 30-hour master's equivalency in your primary field, the doctoral curriculum requires an additional 54 credit hours minimum.
