The MA in Musicology is suitable preparation for doctoral studies in musicology and some other humanities disciplines, as well as work in the fields of journalism, music education, editing, and arts administration.

informed by cultural studies. Our faculty members pursue research in genres ranging from medieval chant to contemporary experimental composition, canonic orchestral repertoire, film music, and diverse styles understood to be popular music. We foster a vibrant intellectual climate that encourages innovative approaches and non-traditional thinking about music as a social text. The MA is a thesis-based program, in which students take two required seminar classes and choose three other seminars before embarking on a thesis prospectus and then thesis research. Students in the program are eligible for Dalhousie graduate scholarships and teaching assistantships in the Department of Music.
