Composition

The Fred Fox School of Music offers course work leading to a Bachelor of Music (BM) Performance degree with a Composition emphasis, a Master of Music in Composition, and a Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition. Visit the Composition website for more information.

Ethnomusicology

Musicology

Students who wish to specialize in musicology may pursue either a Master of Music in Musicology (with concentrations in Historical Musicology or Ethnomusicology) or a Bachelor of Arts in Music (for undergraduates who intend eventually to pursue a graduate degree in musicology).

Theory
