The Fine Arts PhD provides students the opportunity to develop skills working across the fields of music, art, theatre, and philosophy and in support of interdisciplinary research, through concentrations in Music Education, Music Theory, and Musicology. FADP recipients are employed in the fields of music scholarship, pedagogy, public-sector arts, among other fields. The degree is especially suitable for those candidates whose research interests necessitate the development of an integrated set of tools uniquely suited to their particular topics of investigation, including topics that are historically situated within music scholarship alone.
The Fine Arts PhD provides students the opportunity to develop skills working in interdisciplinary research. Candidates complete a core of 5 IVPA courses, but are encouraged to develop unique additional expertise and skills in service of specific dissertation projects. In addition, there are courses in Arts Practice-Led Research, Arts Administration, Music Cognition, and a range of complementary secondary skills.
The PhD in Fine Arts in Music degree is an effective preparation for university-level teaching, both within Music and across the disciplines, and also for a range of professional opportunities in public scholarship, library and museum studies, and related fields.
