Graduate Concentrations

At Hunter College we offer a flexible music program–allowing us to meet the diverse needs of our students–at surprisingly affordable prices, Students may study full-time or part-time, which makes our program ideal for the busy NYC professional. Indeed, a number of our students are professional musicians and music teachers who are able to complete their M.A. studies at night. Generally, required courses in our department are offered in the evening.

We offer an M.A. in Music with concentrations in Composition, Ethnomusicology, Music History, Music Theory, and Performance. Students with specific needs might also be able to get an M.A. in Music with a Mixed Concentration. We also offer a master’s degree in Music Education (the Teacher Education Program in Music, otherwise known as the Music TEP).
