The master’s degree in music is intended for talented performers or composers wanting to study with highly qualified faculty, artists, and scholars.
Since its launch in 1989, the Master of Music program at Towson University has provided rigorous training in performance and composition, supported by advanced coursework in theory, history, and literature. Towson University and its Department of Music are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.
The program fosters a diverse and inclusive environment, bringing together students from across the United States and around the world. Graduates pursue careers in performance, teaching, and the music industry, while others go on to doctoral study at prestigious universities.
Our graduate performance/composition cohort is enriched by students enrolled in the Master of Music in Pedagogy, Graduate Certificate in Applied Music, and students in the Master of Science in Music Education.
