Information for Applicants To Our Graduate Programs (DMA and PhD)
Are you considering applying for our PhD program in Musicology (Historical Musicology, Music Theory, or Ethnomusicology) or our DMA program in Composition?
NB: The application deadline for 2010 admission is DECEMBER 15th, 2009.
Columbia offers one of the top graduate programs in academic musicology and composition in the United States. Admission to any of our programs is extremely competitive. We normally admit between 8 and 12 new students per year across all four areas of our Department, and receive several hundred applications for these few positions. Please be aware that we do not offer any graduate degree program in performance or music education. We also do not offer any distance learning program. All newly admitted students begin in the Fall semester. All doctoral students earn the MA by the end of their second year; if you already have an MA in Music, you may be eligible for Advanced Standing.
All admitted students are fully funded, with a combination of fellowships and teaching duties, for five years of study (four with advanced standing) and we do not admit unfunded students. However, we strongly encourage qualified applicants to apply for external funding (such as Javits, Ford, or NSF fellowships).
Please begin by visiting the Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website, and reading the section entitled "for prospective students."
Basic admissions information is here. This page contains information about the GRE (required of all applicants) and the TOEFL (required of many international applicants).
Official admissions information for the Department of Music is here.
The online application process can be started here.
