Music (M.M.)

Since its inception in 1989, the MM program has offered excellent training in performance/composition supported by high-level coursework in theory, history, and literature. With a proud history at Towson, the program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

Enjoy interacting with students from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities. In recent years, we have had students from Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines, Poland, and Russia as well as from across the U.S. Students graduating from the MM program have pursued a variety of careers in performance, teaching, and work in the music industry. Others have been admitted to doctoral programs at prestigious universities.

The smaller graduate cohort in our program is complemented by a larger group of master’s students in the music education program. You can view admission and degree requirements and course descriptions in the Graduate Catalog.
