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. These include the Afro-Caribbean, world music, early music and new music ensembles.
Qualified students may also take studio lessons and courses in BGSU’s Department of Popular Culture, Ethnic Studies, History, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies and elsewhere across campus.
