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.
