Master’s degrees in music history and ethnomusicology allow students to pursue detailed work that prepares them for doctorate programs. These graduate degrees require seminars in a variety of topics and methodologies, one foreign language, comprehensive exams and a thesis or portfolio, as well as participation in the department’s small ensembles that focus on diverse musical periods and traditions.
