/graduatecatalog/programsofstudy/blacksacredmusic/
The Master of Music in Black Sacred Music is a three-year, summers-only program housed within the Department of Music. The program offers a unique opportunity for advanced study in Black Sacred Music and its derivatives. Because American music largely finds its roots in Black music, the preservation, proliferation, production and research of this music is included in the study of music in higher education. The curriculum is designed to equip students with the essential tools needed for professional careers that involve the presentation, teaching, and research of Black sacred music. Program participants will receive interdisciplinary training and significant internship opportunities consistent with the work experiences associated with Black sacred music spaces and related industries. The program prepares students for top careers in Black sacred music, and for music study at the doctoral level.
