MASTER'S DEGREES
The Master of Arts degree in musicology can be the culmination of formal studies or preparation for doctoral study. Many students who have completed the MA at the University of Oregon have continued in Ph.D. programs in musicology at other major universities, or continued in the doctoral degree program on this campus. The MA program is focused on classes and small seminars in musicology and includes opportunities to study performance and cognate areas outside of music. It culminates in a thesis. Most students need two years to complete the MA in musicology.

DOCTORAL DEGREES
The Ph.D. with musicology as the primary area differs from the traditional Ph.D. in musicology in several ways, including the focus on a supporting area, which provides the student with additional advanced skills. course work related to pedagogy and supervised experience in college teaching are integral parts of this degree, as is the emphasis in research. Students are expected to obtain a thorough grounding in the history of Western music. In addition, the program allows considerable flexibility to pursue specialized interests and nonstandard subject areas.

SUPPORTING AREA
The supporting area in musicology in the doctoral program prepares students to teach undergraduate music history classes and to complement their primary area with a comprehensive historical background. Dissertations for other primary areas often include a significant component in musicology, and involve the musicology faculty actively in their preparation.
