| The Ph.D. in Musicology is small and selective, offering the opportunity for intensive directed research, emphasizing professional training in research and scholarship. The program encourages interdisciplinary work linking scholarship in music with humanistic fields relevant to the student’s area of research. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants to the Ph.D. Program in Musicology must hold the master’s degree in musicology, music history, or music theory, or its equivalent, from a recognized university. They must also demonstrate potential for a career in musicology or music scholarship and have a primary research interest compatible with the areas of specialization of the university’s regular faculty. A good reading knowledge of German and French or Italian is required of all applicants to this program. In addition, a reading knowledge of another foreign language may be required, if necessary to the candidate’s intended field of specialization. Applicants should submit documentation of their ability in these languages with their applications (e.g., an official memo stating that language examinations were successfully completed). Those who do not submit such evidence will be required to pass language examinations before work on the dissertation prospectus begins. |
