    PhD Programs in Musicology

    Individuals who enjoy learning about music and understanding its influence on culture and history may be interested in studying musicology. Musicologists learn about music analysis, music theory, music cognition, and music aesthetics as they gain a deeper understanding of the importance of music.

    Europe is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the western most point of Eurasia, Europe is usually divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways connecting the Black and Aegean Seas.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
