Master of Music in Performance

 

The Master of Music in Performance degree is designed for exceptional musicians who have completed an undergraduate degree in music and want to pursue intensive graduate studies in performance. The program will accommodate piano, voice, instrumental and organ performance. The degree will assist students who desire to continue their musical preparation at the doctoral level, and will prepare performers for a professional career in music. Two semesters of residency are required.

 

Master's candidates who wish to include the designation "With Emphasis in Church Music" to their degree may do so by choosing to use six elective credits in designated church music courses.
