About the course

The Musicology program enables students to take advantage of both the professional applied music setting within the School of Music and the interdisciplinary, humanistic environment of a major research university. Classes in research methods and current issues in musicology and ethnomusicology are supplemented by seminars open to musicologists, music theorists, composers, and performers. The Musicology program focuses on helping students refine their skills in critical thinking, research, and writing, encouraging application of a broad range of approaches and methodologies. The M.M. in Musicology from the Baylor University School of Music offers students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the manifold traditions, styles and cultural contexts through which music has and continues to define itself. Students choosing the M.M. in Musicology will conduct research under faculty mentors who are engaged in scholarly discourse on national and international levels. Classes in research methods and current issues in musicology and ethnomusicology are supplemented by seminars open to musicologists, music theorists, composers, and performers.
