The Department of Music at UC Davis offers an integrated and inclusive environment where graduate students engage with a highly regarded faculty, fellow graduate students, and a range of exceptional visiting scholars and Artists in Residence. Apply online through the Office of Graduate Studies. Applications are due January 5.

Every incoming PhD student is offered a five-year fellowship and teaching assistantship package from the Department of Music, providing tuition, most fees, health insurance, and a minimum of $35k stipend/salary per year.
