Webster University offers a Master of Arts (MA) in Music for students seeking a broad, general course of study. Here’s what you need to know:
- General Course of Study
: The MA in Music does not have an official area of emphasis, but students can explore various fields within music through elective courses tailored to their needs and career goals. - Focus
: Unlike the performance-oriented Master of Music (MM), the MA program emphasizes academic studies in music and related fields, although performance and creative musical endeavors remain central to many students’ experiences. - Career Opportunities
: Graduates are prepared to teach applied music in studios, teach in private or public schools (with teacher certification), perform with or conduct ensembles, compose or arrange music, pursue doctoral studies, or develop expertise in multiple areas. - Accreditation
: The MA program meets the guidelines set by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), of which Webster University is a full member.
Webster University also offers a Master of Music (MM) with majors in Composition, Jazz Studies, and Performance, including specializations in orchestral instruments, piano, organ, guitar, and voice.
