The Musicology Department’s renowned faculty of scholars and educators address music from around the globe, paying particular attention to the sounds of the Caribbean, the Americas, and Western Europe. Collectively, their research and teaching explore how making, distributing, and experiencing music reflect and shape individual and group identities and values. Located at the crossroads of the Americas, Miami is the perfect setting for research on these and a vast array of other topics.
The Frost School of Music's musicology master's degree program is highly selective, and we pride ourselves on providing individualized attention and mentoring for each student. The Marta and Austin Weeks Music Library, a beautiful facility with an excellent collection, is committed to supporting research at all levels. A number of special collections across the University of Miami complement the library’s holdings and provide unique opportunities for student research.
