The PhD in Music offers exemplary academic training in music studies. Our doctoral program is extremely diverse, welcoming students from around the world who are working in a variety of research areas at the cutting edge of music studies. Doctoral students can expect to complete course work in which they will train with faculty in music theory, ethnomusicology, popular music & media studies, and musicology. A distinguishing feature of our Ph.D. program is that the Academic Area faculty work closely with each other and with students in research projects, teaching, and community engagement. Following successful completion of candidacy examinations and a thesis proposal, the program culminates in the dissertation, a substantial work of original scholarship.
