The musicology program at Brandeis offers an integrated approach to the study of music and its many contexts. We combine close critical attention to musical works and practices with investigation into the historical, cultural, intellectual, and institutional factors that have shaped their creation and reception. Our graduate curriculum is expansive, encompassing both intensive seminars on specific topics and proseminars that expose students to a variety of methodologies and new developments in the field.
Brandeis offers a two-year Master’s degree and a five-year PhD degree in musicology.
