The Musicology Program at LSU emphasizes diversity and flexibility of approach while providing a strong foundation in historical and theoretical methods. Students select from a wide range of courses, including seminars on specialized topics, and work with award-winning faculty to develop independent research and critical thinking skills. Additionally, students participate in the organization of LSU’s Biennial Music Colloquium, teach courses as instructors of record, and interact with leading musical scholars through LSU’s Music Forum and the regional chapter of the American Musicological Society (AMS). A vibrant concert life both on and off campus gives students numerous opportunities to continue pursuing their music performance interests.
