GRADUATE PROGRAM: Florida State University, Tallahassee, M.M. and Ph.D. in Musicology

[AMS Office]

The College of Music at Florida State University is pleased to accept applications for the M.M. and Ph.D. in Musicology.

The Musicology area at FSU believes that scholarship, music making, and public engagement are inseparable. Our program is dedicated to realizing a vision of the discipline that integrates traditionally separated historical and ethnomusicological approaches and methodologies. Students in our program combine research and study with musical performance in a wide variety of ensembles, including our renowned Early Music and World Music ensembles.

Upon applying, all students are considered for support in the form of research and teaching assistantships and scholarships. Current students have access to funding for research and conferences as well as a strong record of national and international grants and fellowships.

Applications for the program are due December 1, 2024. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Denise Von Glahn, coordinator of the Musicology area at FSU, at dvonglahn -at- fsu.edu, or any of our other Musicology faculty members.
