Degrees

Apply to be a part of the School of Music graduate program today!

The School of Music offers multiple graduate degree programs at both the master's and doctoral level and a graduate minor. Students wishing to pursue a master's degree have the option of seeking a master of arts (MA) or a master of music (MM) and selecting an emphasis of interest.

Students interested in seeking a doctoral degree may pursue a doctor of musical arts (DMA) or doctor of philosophy (PhD) in music at the University of Minnesota.

The School of Music also offers a post-baccalaureate music education licensure program and a music therapy equivalency program.

Students pursuing a graduate degree outside of music, but with an interest in the theory and history of music, may apply to add a graduate minor to their programs. To apply for the grad minor, students must obtain a signature of approval from their major advisor and the School of Music Director of Graduate Studies.
