Though the D.M.A. curriculum is approved by the School of the Arts, candidates apply to and matriculate into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences . The field offers graduate degrees in musicology, composition, and historical performance of eighteenth-century instrumental music. The study of ethnomusicology, music theory, and analysis is assumed to be an integral part of all graduate degree programs in music. Graduate students in musicology or composition may include performance as part of their program. Students may draw minor subjects from the Field of Music and from other fields.
Performance can be a part of any graduate program.
Students are encouraged to participate in the many university-affiliated performance groups. Opportunities also exist for solo recitals and informal collaboration. For an application, visit the Graduate School's website at Cornell University. Cornell University's Medieval Studies Program offers students the opportunity to pursue graduate-level medieval research interests in multiple disciplines. Although programs to fit individual interests and needs are emphasized, there are some degree requirements, such as reading knowledge of Latin and a course in paleography and research methods, that must be met by all candidates.
