Doctor of Music

The Doctor of Music degree (D.Mus./Mus. Doc.), like other doctorates, is an academic degree of the highest level. The D.Mus. is intended for musicians who wish to combine the highest attainments in their area of specialization with doctoral-level academic study in music. D.Mus. students typically complete applied studies culminating in several solo recitals, take courses within their area of specialization (as well as related courses in music theory and music history), and write a thesis or dissertation.
