GRADUATE PROGRAM: University of Florida, Gainesville, MM and PhD in Ethnomusicology and Historical Musicology
AMS Office
The University of Florida School of Music is currently accepting applications for the MM and PhD programs in ethnomusicology and historical musicology. We offer a competitive package of fellowships and graduate assistantships. The deadline for applications is January 10, 2025, for programs beginning in Fall 2025.
The University of Florida's Musicology area integrates historical, cultural, theoretical, and interdisciplinary approaches that seek to understand music from multiple perspectives. The program nurtures an environment of collaborative research, teaching, and creative work among students and faculty.
Graduate students work closely with faculty mentors in research and teaching. In addition, faculty members are actively involved in musical performance and special opportunities exist for integrating performance, scholarship, and community involvement through our programs. Musicology is linked to the University of Florida's performance ensembles, which provide opportunities for students to work directly with artists-in-residence from around the world. Examples of ensembles include Jacaré Brazil, Afropop Ensemble, Agbedidi (West African), Persian Ensemble, Chinese Ensemble, Steel Pan Ensemble, and Lux Solaris (Baroque).
