For music students who are interested in researching such topics as music’s history, social context or performance practices, the M.A. in music with a musicology option offers the needed skills for this work. Students explore the research process and enroll in three seminars focused on varying musical topics (recent topics include nineteenth-century instrumental music, John Cage and Wagner). As a final project, students write an article-length, original essay. With the M.A. in musicology, students can improve their skills and knowledge for use in research, education or performance; they are also prepared for doctoral programs in musicology or performance.
