The University of Washington's School of Music provides extensive professional education with programs focused on both performance and academic research. With more than 500 music students enrolled, the school offers various degree options including Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Master of Arts, Master of Music, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy. Non-major students also frequently enroll in private lessons or join musical ensembles for personal enrichment. The curriculum reflects music's dual character: as a creative art form that thrives through the work of composers, performers, and educators, and as an academic discipline within the humanities that demands scholarly analysis of its theoretical foundations and historical evolution. Graduate students benefit from an immersive environment to deepen their expertise in either performance or music scholarship.The University of Washington's School of Music provides extensive professional education with programs focused on both performance and academic research.
