The student-centered campus emphasizes the arts with its programs and facilities, and we dedicate ourselves to helping students become excellent musicians whether they are interested in being teachers, performers or composers, sound recording engineers or music therapists. The broad range of majors in the music school provides students with many opportunities to experiment, perform, create and grow in preparation for successful careers of their choice.
In addition to the application process required by the Office of Graduate Studies, applicants seeking the Master of Music in Theory-Composition must interview with and be accepted by the appropriate music faculty.
The Master of Music in Theory/Composition is structured so that the student may place emphasis on either theory or composition. Applicants who choose a concentration in theory must present evidence of previous analytical work. Applicants who choose a concentration in composition must present a representative selection of compositions for evaluation
