Musicology
We offer courses in the history of Western music across all periods; ethnomusicology, including courses in African, Japanese, Latin American, American Indian and Euro-American musics; and in special topics such as aesthetics, music and ritual, progressive rock, history of opera and world music theories.
Our graduate students work individually on upper-level studies with the baby直播app, whose specializations encompass a breadth of Western music and geographical and topical subfields of ethnomusicology. Graduate students develop individual projects, attend seminars and participate in regular colloquia with the entire baby直播app and leading researchers in historical musicology, ethnomusicology and music theory.
The BA and BM in musicology degrees prepare students for graduate study in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, or for positions in music writing, broadcasting, public sector ethnomusicologyand teaching. The College of Music also offers a variety of world music ensembles student participation.
